Taste Cheshire Food and Drink Festival launches for it’s 21st year! #Blog

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

The lights are on, the Christmas market is open and Chester is coming alive with some Festive spirit. Our festive spirit has inspired us to launch the Chester Food and Drink Festival for 2022. You will be happy to hear we are returning to our usual Easter dates; 16th-18th April 2022.

The event is 2022 promises to be bigger and better than ever with the festival organisers having faced a lot of tough decisions in the last 2 years, but following the success of the event this Summer 2021, for them, this one was a no brainer. “The festival has to come back to Easter” says festival organiser Briony Wilson. “We were so lucky to be able to run it in August this year and we were thrilled with the fabulous options created by Chester Racecourse. However, Easter is our home space, it’s the flagship festival for the season and we carry that role with enormous pride. We cannot wait to fill the racecourse again with food and fun. We look forward to bringing some much-needed positivity, and delicious food and drink back to the city.”.

The festival features chef demonstrations from celebrity chefs amongst other demos from local food heroes. Demonstrations including a special plant-based cookery school, baking demos and cocktail masterclasses are also featured as part of the event.

Taste Cheshire are focused on organising a family friendly event full of foodie fun and to give everyone a chance to really enjoy a staycation in Chester this Easter Bank Holiday weekend. “it’s about safety first of course,” Briony Wilson says, “people still have concerns about going abroad, and we are so happy that so many people visited us from around the country this time”.

“The re-organised August event brought nearly 30,000 people to Chester, almost as many as Chester Zoo. We are unbelievably proud of that”.

Taste Cheshire also welcome input from local businesses in the festival and are happy to hear from anyone interested in getting involved with festival sponsorship. This year’s festival charity partner is The Hospice of the Good Shepherd and Taste Cheshire are proud to be helping this local charity with fundraising at this difficult time.
