Food Festival says farewell to principal sponsor #Blog
Briony Wilson
25th July 2017
The Chester Food and Drink Festival, brought to you for the last 5 years by principal sponsor Allington Hughes Law will no longer feature the blue and white colours of the Chester and North wales legal firm as they have completed a 5-year deal with the Chester Event.
Principal Organiser Stephen Wundke said he was sad to see Allington Hughes leave as they have been a great partner. “What you want with a sponsor is not necessarily all about money. Managing Partner, Alison Stace and her team have been a terrific company to work with. During their time as sponsor not only has our event grown but their own business has more than doubled in that period and we have all enjoyed working together for mutual benefit.
The Allington Hughes attitude has always been to challenge us to get bigger and better and we have added things like Artfest, BBQ Demo stages, Cookery School for adults and of course our new VIP area in 2017, all during their time with us. I would like to thank them personally for their support and wish them all the best in the future.”
Briony Wilson, Festival Director, commented that they were in talks with a number of large North-West Companies but it was still early and as of yet they haven’t found the ideal fit for the event. “If you believe your company might benefit from over 30,000 people and the huge amount of publicity that surrounds an event that is now the biggest of its type anywhere in the UK at Easter time then email me, [email protected] and let’s talk further about the many opportunities that the event provides; to be seen and heard across the North West.” It really is a special event and one that families love. Where else can you have four hours of family fun for less than £20.
The Chester Food and Drink festival takes place each Easter at Chester Racecourse. Next year’s dates are 31st March until the 2nd of April 2018 and bookings for exhibitors have just been released.
