Launched in Edinburgh in 2006 and now with 12 festivals around the country, Foodies' Festival is a celebration of quality local food and drink and the largest food and drink festival in the UK.
Each festival is a celebration of the food in each region, with local artisan producers, local street food traders and local food and drink producers to take part. At the heart of the festival are the theatres, giving top local chefs the opportunity to show off their cooking skills to their audience, who can take the recipes home with them.
In the Cake and Bake Theatre local bakers will join Bake Off winners and finalists baking and making sweet treats. In the Drinks Theatre wine, champagne, beer, cider and other drinks experts run tutored tastings every hour and the Kids' Cookery theatre will give children a chance to taste new flavours and learn basic cooking skills.
On the Musicians Against Homelessness (MAH) live music stage top artists perform throughout the event and monies raised are donated to Crisis. While the Cardiff specific line up has yet to be announced for this stage, across the festival artists such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Natalie Imbruglia and Fleur East.
Tickets for the Foodies' Festival are now on sale and can be found here.
