Exeter Food Festival wins silver at South West Tourism Awards 2015
Michael Caines MBE, festival champion and co-founder said of the win: "I am absolutely delighted with our silver at the South West Tourism Awards 2015!
"The Exeter Food Festival is a celebration of all the fantastic food and drink producers in the South West as well as our region’s rich agricultural and coastal heritage. To be shortlisted with other wonderful events in the South West is an honour and we look forward to bringing our festival to Exeter again this April."
This year, there has been a significant increase in applications from new food and drink producers. Michael Caines continued: ‘We have been very pleased to not only welcome back valued stall holders but also companies new to the festival. It’s testament to the thriving foodie culture and the quality of produce and hospitality we have here in the South West.’
