British Food Fortnight
September 26 - October 12
British Food Fortnight – the national celebration of the diverse and delicious food that Britain produces
A fun and delicious national celebration that everyone is invited to take part in!
The focal point of Love British Food’s activities is British Food Fortnight, the national celebration of our food that takes place every Autumn in the last week of September and the first week of October, at the same time as Harvest Festival, the traditional time for celebrating our food.
The Fortnight is the biggest national celebration of British food on the nation’s calendar.
Hundreds of activities have taken place in communities across the country during the event…
• Fun activities, foodie lessons and special menus in schools.
• Menu promotions in pubs, restaurants, hotels and visitor attractions.
• Love British Food menus in hospitals and care homes.
• Themed menus in universities where Fresher’s Week coincides with the Fortnight.
• Promotions, meet the producer events and tastings in shops and markets.
• Special menus across the food service sector: from staff restaurants to sports venues.
• Love British Food’s Harvest Torch travels the country with a National Harvest Service each year.
• An annual competition to find the most imaginative community event during the Fortnight.
• Community celebrations…villages, market towns and even cities have taken part!
It is all tremendous fun and people, from the very young to the elderly, love taking part.
