Friends of Elham Food Festival

The Food Festival is a not-for-profit organisation run by a management committee of volunteers representing different village organisations. We hope to hold it three or four times a year. The committee and other volunteers help with a number of tasks on market days, but we always need more Friends of Elham Food Festival to take a turn at putting up the bunting and help set up and take down the gazebos. Come and join us and make new friends.

Contact the market manager, Julie Woodgate on t: 01303 840044 for more details.

In his latest message of support, Phil said: "I am delighted that the market has been such a success so far and will now become a permanent feature in Elham. Congratulations to the local producers for providing such a range of high quality goods, and to your shoppers for recognising and appreciating the value of good seasonal local food, produced by people who care."
