The Christchurch Food Festival is to take place this year – in a new location and later  the year.

It usually takes place in May, but because of the pandemic, it has now been planned for the August Bank Holiday weekend – Saturday 28 to Monday 30 August.

And this year it will take place on Christchurch Quay instead of in the High Street, to allow for any social distancing measures that are still in place.

In the run up to the festival there will be a series of pop-up restaurants on the Quayside.

And as always it will be free to attend.

The change of date and location is supported by both BCP Council and Christchurch Town Council.

The title supporter this year will be Saxe Coburg Property Experts.
