What's New
TV - Last month was fantastic, our 2006 Festival was seen by hundreds of thousands of people on television and was reported to be one of the best Food and Drink Festivals in the region. What a response to our first Wirral Food and Drink Festival!
Claremont Farm - Home of Wirral Food and Drink Festival, Claremont Farm has long had the reputation of being one of the best Farm Shops in the region but now they’ve gone national! The Guardian announced it to be one of the top pick your own sites in the country and the Sunday Mail awarded it to be one of the best Farm Shops in the country. Well done the Pimbley’s!
 Clowning Around - Are asking all the children of Wirral, to create a Clown out of as much fruit and vegetables as they can get their hands on and enter their wonderful creation into our ‘Clowning About’ Competition. The winning entry will have top Wirral chef Julian, visit the winners school and demonstrate some very exciting recipes. To enter, bring your Clown creation to the Wirral Food and Drink Festival, donate a pound to Claire House Charity and then leave the very difficult task of choosing the winner to us.

 The Real Lancashire Black Pudding Co.
If you haven't tasted this Lancashire delight then you've never lived! Especially if it’s one of R.S. Ireland's multi-award winning Black Puddings. Made to a secret recipe, once tasted you're sure to become hooked by the wonderful explosion of flavours of this dark, aromatic mouth watering morsel. Not forgetting the vegetarian, they also make a wonderful meat free black pudding!

Mawsons Traditional Drinks
The story of Mawsons Sarsaparilla begins in 1933, when milkman Joe Mawson came to Oldham and bought a herbalist shop. The back room of his shop became the place where the seed was planted for the now award winning traditional fizzy drinks company. His son, Nigel Mawson now runs the business and we are lucky enough to have their award winning sarsaparilla, cream soda and dandelion and burdock at the Festival this year.
