MELKSHAM FOOD & RIVER FESTIVAL - 3rd & 4th September 2022

​This annual festival follows swiftly after our exhibition. Organised by the Festival Committee with support from the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust and the Wiltshire Youth Canoe Club, this is the 7th year of the Food and River Festival. The 2-day late summer event takes place in the heart of Melksham, Wiltshire.

​The Festival seeks to provide a platform for local food and drink producers, community groups, local entrepreneurs and start-up businesses. A range of activities, stalls and attractions take place in the park and on the river that will appeal to visitors of all ages on both Festival days.
 
One of Lacock Art Group’s members, Chris Crosby, has a stall at the Festival where her own art will be on sale, together with some beautiful stained glass pieces created by her daughter-in-law. If you’re in the area over the Festival weekend please drop in and say hello to Chris and her team.
​ 
Entry is FREE! After browsing the stalls and indulging in some retail therapy, you can relax and enjoy al fresco locally produced food and drink, while listening to live music and watching the boats on the river.
