The Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival

Jenny and her team are behind the successful organization of the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festivals which have taken place in East Suffolk since 2006, culminating each year in a weekend extravaganza at Snape Maltings.

Each year there has been a wide range of events and activities taking place throughout the region for over a week, the idea being to bring together the food producers, farmers, chefs and the public. Opportunities have existed for people to go on farm walks, take butchery masterclasses, see chefs demonstrating, go on fungi forays, eat fish cooked at the beach and to visit restaurants they do not normally frequent through progressive suppers in market towns, i.e. eating a different course in a different restaurant all on the same evening!

The Festival culminates in a two day extravaganza at Snape Maltings where over 70 producers showcase their local produce, most of which has been grown or produced on the Suffolk Coast and Heaths.

In 2008 the marquees were decorated with oversized lobsters, crabs and fish as well as a large number of fishing nets lent by local fishermen. A local jazz band entertained the crowds outside the Adnams’ boat bar, and many celebrity chefs visited the area for the weekend and demonstrated on the main stage. Guests included Tom Aikens, Tom Parker-Bowles and Matthew Fort, Mark Hix, Sheila Dillon, Rose Prince, Fergus Henderson as well as local chefs Rory Whelan, Franck Pontais, Garry Cook and Mark & Sophie Dorber.
