A Spring Fiesta is being held on Saturday 5 April from 10am until 5pm in the historic Dye House, part of the Shrewsbury Flaxmill Buildings. Organised by the Ludlow Marches Slow Food group, the free event is a festive celebration of sustainable, high-quality produce, supporting local producers and artisans who are passionate about traditional methods and ethical practices.
Guests can indulge in delicious seasonal dishes from local vendors, with licensed alcohol producers serving locally produced drinks. The event will also feature interactive workshops for all ages, making it a fantastic day out for families and friends to experience the joy of Slow Food.
Workshops include Alex McAllister (pictured) aka the Force of Nature Chef who will be leading on some ‘taster’ foraging walks around the Flaxmill building area as a way of introduction to those keen to take first steps into the fascinating world of foraging. Though free events, booking is essential so numbers can be managed.
The Slow Food Chef of the year, Steve, ‘The Hungry Guy’ will also be hosting a children’s fun ‘hands-on’ workshop for 5 -16-year-olds that fancy having a go at making their own fresh pasta and ‘in season’ wild garlic pesto.
The Slow Food movement, founded in Italy in 1986, advocates good, clean, and fair food. It promotes regional biodiversity, encourages sustainable farming, and highlights the stories of producers who are deeply connected to their land and heritage.
