Brackley Community Carnival Committee added another event to the calandar for 2008.

It was a beautiful day and the event went very well. Plenty of people came down on the day to support the event which local companies and organisations had been invited to take part in. It was the first time Brackley had held a Festival of Food. Traders were able to sell their produce, offer samples and promote their business's. Boycott Farm and Belflare Chocolates both did talks on the day and Boycott Farm also did a Burger Making Demostration. The local schools were also invited to take part in a 'Novalty Cake Decorating Competition', which was judged on the day by Mayoress Debbi Parry, Deputy Mayor Kevin Dixon and Susan Congerton from Waitrose. The theme was 'The British Isles'.

Also on the day was a Raffle, with first prize being supplied by Waitrose. Boycott Farm did a BBQ and the Army Cadet's cooked Army Food for everyone to try. St John Ambulance Cadets were serving Tea and Hand Made Biscuits from 10am to 12.30pm and the 5th Brackley Brownies were serving Cream Tea's between 2pm and 4pm in the Town Hall.

We would like to thank all the traders that took part in the Festival of Food and made it such a successful day. They were Waitrose, Boycott Farm, The Army Cadets, Tai Thai, Heritage Apple Tree's,The Army Cadets, Sulgrave's New York Cheese Cakes, Brackley Country Markets, Ambalamba Spices, Forever Living Products, Val Pendleton's Cakes and Bakes, Hoggley's Brewery, Pink Syrups and Beflair Chocolates.

We would also like to thank all of our sponsors.

We already have several local companies taking part on the day, including some new ones for 2009.
