August appears to be a quiet month in terms of specialty food fairs in and around the Midlands – must be the holiday season!!
So it’s the perfect time to get out and about and support your local food stores and farmers market and here are our favourites:
Brown and Green have tastings on every weekend in both of their Trentham and Derby stores and you can find out the details on their newly designed website. Highlights for August include:
