Made in North Somerset programme

Made in North
Somerset Showcase
Introduction
The ‘Made in North Somerset’ Festival is a three week
celebration of food, drink, art and craft events
across North Somerset. The festival, coordinated
by North Somerset Council, acts as a showcase
for the rich variety of talent across North
Somerset and helps to raise the profile of these
producers and makers. Once discovered we hope
people will go on to support these local producers
throughout the year and shop local.
During the festival there will be ample opportunity to see behind the scenes and
find out what goes into making, growing and producing some of these fantastic
products. The ‘meet the maker’ events include food and craft workshops,
demonstrations, apple juicing, markets, brewery and vineyard tours, farm open
days, wild foraging walks, orchard open days, and tasting evenings.

be left to mature.
