We have some exciting news! π€
Berwickβs Food & B**r Festival is set to return in 2027!!
Berwickβs much-loved food & b**r festival is set to continue, following the formation of a new community interest company dedicated to securing its future and building on its growing success.
Weβll be seeing the return of our popular fixture, held every August, attracting thousands of visitors.
What began as a small food market nearly 20 years ago has developed into a lively weekend celebration, with this yearβs event featuring 75 stalls alongside a large music and b**r marquee. π€―
Following the withdrawal of Berwick Slow Food, the festivalβs future was uncertain... However, a group of dedicated volunteers have now come together, with plans to ensure the event continues for years to come.
Berwick Town Council has welcomed the initiative and agreed to provide officer support as the plans progress.
β’ Looking ahead, organisers are exploring an expanded layout for the festival, with proposals to host the market on the Parade Ground in front of the Barracks and relocate the music and b**r marquee to The Stanks football field!
(Subject to the necessary permissions, the proposed move would create additional space for visitors and traders, improve accessibility and help minimise noise for nearby residents.)
Plans are also underway for a dedicated website, expected to launch early in the New Year, where visitors will be able to find festival information and purchase tickets.
Local businesses will also be able to apply for stalls, explore sponsorship opportunities and become involved in supporting the event. With ambitions to build on this summerβs success, organisers hope to make the festival even more family-friendly while continuing to celebrate Berwickβs food, music, independent businesses and community spirit.
The plans mark an exciting new chapter for one of Berwickβs established summer events, with the aim of creating a festival that both residents and visitors can look forward to enjoying each August.π
