The Ashburton Food Festival is back and it’s levelling up the fun in 2025. We’re talking a whirlwind of delicious events, from single-origin chocolate workshops to the kind of cider-and-oyster pairing that’ll make your taste buds do a little dance. This year, we’re all about celebrating the incredible flavours of Devon and the South West.
Event Date: Saturday, 13th September, 10.00am – 5.00pm.
Location: Ashburton Town Centre, Devon.
Festival lead Dee Kilkelly says, “We’re mixing it up this year with everything from art workshops using dyes from waste food to street performers and DJs. Plus, there’s an edible perennial plant sale and a splash of local wine from Sandridge Barton.”
Festival Highlights:
Chocolate Tasting Workshop: Dive into the world of single-origin chocolates and discover the craft behind the sweetness with Michael Barber from Ashburton Cookery School.- Cider & Oysters: A match made in foodie heaven, local Michelin listed restaurant Le Vin Perdu team up with Dart Oysters to bring a splash of seafood sunshine to the festival.
- Art Workshops with a Tasty Twist: Get hands-on and create art using dyes from edible materials, a workshop for kids and adults alike.
