Foodies Festival, the UK’s largest celebration of food and drink, are delighted to announce their inaugural Christmas instalment ‘Foodies Festival Christmas’ to be held at the Old Truman Brewery, November 28,29,30th this winter.
Following the success of Foodies’ series of nine summer events across the country, organisers are promising to round-off 2014 with a cracker of a festival, bringing together the spirit of Christmas and the joy of feasting with friends and family.
Founder of Foodies Festival Sue Hitchen commented… ‘Introducing a Christmas festival to London this year is a dream come true for us; there really is no better way to celebrate a fantastic year than with a big festive feast. This will be our first festival in East London, so we are very excited to give the gift of Foodies Festival and welcome new visitors.’
Just like Christmas day there is lots of post-feasting fun to be had with entertainment throughout the day. Visitors can register their team to compete in the Christmas Bumper Quiz at 5pm daily, have a group Christmas jumper picture taken in the photo booth, sing carols and learn how to dance the Gay Gordon with ceilidh dancing and live music from the Entertainment Stage.
For the little ones, an Elf Cookery School invites children under 12 to bake snowballs and decorate gingerbread men, cookies and cupcakes to leave out for Santa. There are also live reindeers to pet and snow balls fights to be had in the courtyard.

Looking forward to the family being together and enjoying a leisurely gastronomic feast
Being with all the family
Looking forward to cooking my first veggie roast!
I’m looking forward to the cooking; our Christmas traditions include consommé (made on Christmas Eve); Madeleines (made by me while everyone else is still in bed); scrambled eggs with smoked salmon for breakfast; homemade pasta for lunch – and for supper, we all prepare a dish – this year, I’m in charge on the quails.
decorating the house, and having the family altogether.
Spending time with my family
What i am most looking forward to is spending a few precious days with my family where we can eat some lovely food and have some giggles playing all the old fashioned board games we have that only seem to come out at Christmas as its the only time where we are all in one place for a day or two.
Looking forward to eating loads and not feeling guilty about it!
Family time and food!
Really looking forward to the Christmas lights being switched on. A real sight to behold.
spending time with my family & friends, and of course the christmas markets!
