This summer also saw the network host Stirling’s largest ever Food and Drink Festival at Forthside Square.
Forth Valley Food Festival proved to be a resounding success, drawing over 2,000 visitors despite Scotland serving up all four seasons in one day!
The event, held on Saturday 24 August by the Engine Shed, marked the Royal Burgh’s 900th anniversary with a celebration of local food, drink and community spirit.
Forthside Square buzzed with excitement all day as visitors flocked to explore the wide array of stalls, sampling local flavours as well as street food from around the world.
Camphill Blair Drummond delighted young visitors with their creative smiley-face pizzas, while charity Forth Environment Link’s smoothie bike had kids using pedal power to whip up a free fruity drink.
The event played a vital role in raising the profile of local food and drink producers, from locally reared lamb to hand made ice cream.
Forth Valley Food and Drink C.I.C. is a Community Interest Company focused on benefiting the local food and drink community in the Forth Valley region. As a not-for-profit entity, it reinvests all assets and profits for community benefit. The organisation aims to raise awareness of local producers, position Forth Valley as a top food and drink destination, and promote the advantages of buying local.
