Get involved with this year’s Food and River Festival

Preparations for the fourth Melksham Food & River Festival, which will take place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd September, are now under way.

This year, after consulting with many stallholders from last year’s festival, organisers have decided that stallholders will be able to trade on both days of the festival. Organisers say, “This is good news for festival-goers who can look forward to more exciting activities and lots of opportunities to sample delicious food and drink across the weekend.

“Despite some inclement weather on the second day, last year’s festival was another great success, with thousands of visitors supporting the event in King George V Park.

“Attractions included a raft race, boat rides, ‘try canoeing’ sessions, a zip wire across the river, a chilli-eating contest, live music, a climbing wall and food and drink from over 70 stalls.”
