Over 50 food and drink stalls will take over East Street for eat:Bedminster on the Saturday 30th September showcasing the very best of local food and drink alongside Bedminster’s great hospitality offer.
Created to celebrate local street food and producers, eat:Bedminster will see East Street transformed between 10am and 4pm, spotlighting amazing food and drink.
The market will feature everything from street food vendors, handmade preserves and award-winning patisseries, to farmer’s market favourites and plant based artisan dishes. Visitors can expect to meet local makers, sample and purchase the best food and drink on offer, as well as the businesses on their doorstep.
A not-for-profit social enterprise, eat:Festivals hosts award-winning food and drink festivals across the West Country, to help connect communities with the local producers and showcase the great local food and drink surrounding them. The festivals are low-cost for traders to attend and for visitors to attend with no entry fees or tickets required.
After a great event in Spring, this edition of eat:Bedminster will expand into Dean Street to make way for more producers and street entertainment. There will also be a free-of-charge circus skills workshop happening on Mill Lane. This will provide a cheery backdrop to browsing the stalls on offer, as pockets of entertainment will be dotted throughout the market.
While recognising that fresh, local produce is integral to the strength and health of our communities, eat:Festivals also celebrate inclusivity within food and drink. eat:Bedminster caters for all dietary requirements, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. Low and no-alcohol options will also be available on the day.
eat:Bedminster will also be fully accessible for all to attend. The East Street market layout will ensure that buggies, pushchairs and wheelchair users can easily move through the outdoor space. The festival is free to attend and dog friendly so the whole family is welcome to come along.
eat:Bedminster coincides with the Bedminster Vintage Bonanza, where 31 traders across eight venues in the area will be offering 10% discount in stores, and the chance to win a £50 voucher, offering visitors another chance to support the local traders in the area.
