40 reasons not to miss the Consett Food Festival - Consett Magazine - Positive Local News for Consett, County Durham

Over 40 Food Vans and Stalls are Coming to Consett

Your belly is already rumbling at the thought of all that delicious food, right?

Taking over the Consett Rugby Club pitches on Saturday 20th May will be over 40 food vans and stalls for Consett’s best Food Festival ever. Mmmm

The festival is not only the perfect excuse to sample some delicious local cuisine, it’s also raising money for a wonderful local cause, Willow Burn Hospice.

Proceeds from the event will go to Willow Burn Hospice which supports adults from across Derwentside with life-limiting conditions. It truly is a wonderful local charity to support, their great work does not go noticed
