The tastiest day of the year – Buckingham Food Fair – is back. This year will be the 10th annual Food Fair held in Buckingham Community Centre on Saturday 24th February 2024 from 10am – 3pm. Entry to the event is free.
We are excited to announce we have some brand-new traders attending the Food Fair this year such as NYC Cookies, Manor Farm Bourton, The Confectionist, Jaccs Coffee, Susumba MK, and We Will Wok You.
Outside the Community Centre will be a range of sensational street food from Caribbean to English cuisines provided by Good Times Café, Sizzlers Street Food, We Will Wok You, and Susumba MK.
Other traders who regularly support this event and will also be attending include, MKS Food Distribution, Indian Orchard, Chafor Wine, Crumb de la Crème, Replete Flatbreads, Friars Farm, Brockleby’s Pies, Bucks Brothers Gin, Stanley’s Homemade Free From Treats, From Garden to Jar, and Riverford Home Delivery.
To celebrate Buckingham’s local food traders and restaurants the event will also be giving away Foodie Buckingham maps that show every food trader in the parish of Buckingham. Visitors can even vote on their favourite dish from a Buckingham eatery at the ‘Buckingham’s Favourite Dish’ stall.
To make the 10th anniversary of the Food Fair special, we are launching the Buckingham Bakes Competition! Children, including SEND up to 25, are invited to make and decorate a maximum of four biscuits of choice. Adults can make a cake or bread of their choice – bonus points are available for both age categories. Everyone must register their bakes online for this event; on the day entries won’t be accepted. Registration forms, terms and conditions, and general event information can be found on our webiste: www.buckingham-tc.gov.uk/event/food-fair-2/
There will be oodles of different delicious products to try and purchase. Have a special dietary requirement? Many of our local traders also sell a variety of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian products to suit all needs and tastes.
Chairman of the Town Centre & Events Committee, Cllr Robin Stuchbury, said “This is the 10th Food Fair we’ve held. The purpose of the Food Fairs has been to offer an alternative and inclusive activity for the community to attend providing them with interesting products and people. We hope that you will join us; Cllr. Fran Davies and a strong team of Town Council officers will be there to meet you and support the event throughout the day with other councillor volunteers.
