Southport Food and Drink Festival
Photos by Patrick Trollope.

THE annual Food and Drink Festival was held in Southport, over the 31 May to 2 June 2019, on Victoria Park, Southport. This year the weather was not as good as it could have been, and the event had lots of competition from the River Festival and a Wine Festival in Liverpool and that's not forgetting the football, amongst others.   But this did not spoil the fun and the event attracted many 'foodies' of all ages. Also the Festival was far bigger than it has been in other years, offering those attending a wide selection of tasty treats. Whether you have a big sweet tooth or enjoy savoury snacks, you could find most things, plus a few none food and drink related items. Not only that but the event also had live entertainment for all ages. This year also had another new offering, the German Oktoberfest on Tour... It was asking those attending to grab your lederhosen and dig out your dirndls for a weekend of live music, food, drink, live entertainment and games. Yes, it was also offering a big TV for the game and traditional Bavarian beers and bratwurst throughout the festival...  If you attended, please do let us know you memories, via emailing them to:- News24@SouthportReporter.Com as we would love to hear your thoughts on this years event.  A big well done to the Sefton Tourism Department and all those involved in putting this show on. We cant wait to sample next years offering.
