Cllr Phil Grove, Portfolio Holder for Economic Development at Malvern Hills District Council said:

“The food festival is just one of the many activities taking place this Jubilee weekend and we hope that as many people as possible turn out to celebrate and indulge in the excellent local food this part of the country has to offer. Any event that encourages residents and visitors to buy local produce is particularly welcome as it supports local business, therefore attracting inward investment and helping to boost the local economy.
