Extra helpings of food festival after cancellation

The food and drink festival will feature more than 100 local producers

A popular Bristol food and drink festival will return to Bristol twice this year.

The festival eat:Nailsea will hold "two bumper editions" this year following the cancellation of last year's event due to bad weather.

The events - on Saturday 26 April and Saturday 6 December - will stretch across the High Street and Crown Glass Shopping Centre.

Each festival will showcase about 100 producers, featuring farmers' market favourites like craft ales, artisan cheeses and baked goods, alongside a wide selection of street food.

Last year's eat:Nailsea event was cancelled due to bad weather

Shoppers will be able to buy directly from local producers.

The free, dog-friendly event is also fully accessible for buggies, scooters, and pushchairs.

The festival is backed by Nailsea Town Council and Praxis Retail, which manages the Crown Glass Shopping Centre.

Festival organiser Bev Milner Simonds said: "We've loved getting to know Nailsea over the past six years, and this year, thanks to the support of the town council, we're excited to expand to two festivals annually.

"Although we were disappointed to cancel last year's winter event due to weather warnings, it has inspired us to grow the festival even more - adding entertainment and giving people even more reasons to make a full day of it."
