This year at Stanley Park the North West Food Lovers Festival promises to be an even bigger hit with festival goers than it was in its first year. With almost 10,000 people attending the event  in 2014 organisers were delighted with the turn out and have committed to an even bigger event in 2015.

Festival Organiser Stephen Wundke was looking forward to 2015 as he explained “The reception from visitors last year was just fabulous and with the help of Gemma McGowan and her team from the Isla Gladstone Conservatory we have put together an even bigger programme in 2015, something of which we are very proud and we know families will love.”

Simon Rimmer from Sunday Brunch and Jean Christophe Novelli, voted world sexiest chef in a recent Sky poll, headline the host of local and regional chefs who will be on the stage providing their great cooking demonstrations but this year there will be two stages with the other featuring artists from the Liverpool International Music Festival in a Radio City inspired “unplugged” series of sessions over the 3 days. It’s an exciting new addition to the programme and gives festival goers even more to do with the family.

In addition to the Cooking demonstrations and the Radio City Music stage, festival visitors can try taste and buy from over 100 exhibitors who are all passionate about food and drink, many of whom put on their own shows featuring their products on their stands.

There is also free kids cooking classes put on by the Academy of Culinary Arts where children get to make dishes under supervision, that they can then take home with them. This fabulous activity and a series of high quality children’s fairground rides make the Festival a must visit family attraction this July.

Tickets are just £5 when bought on line for adults and children under 12 are free. The event opens on Friday the 3^rd of July at midday and then at 11.00am on both Saturday and Sunday with closing time 6.00pm on each day.
