Food & drink · Bristol

A food festival with more on its mind than another string of stalls: alongside the waterfront producer village and a sourdough exchange, there's a proper symposium of food writers and chefs talking regenerative farming and sustainability — the kind of event where you'll end up in a conversation with a stranger.
Family cooking and craft workshops are free, so it's an easy one to bring kids to as well, not just a grown-ups' food fair.
