There are some delicious healthy food festivals in London but in our experience, they get booked out annoyingly quickly so we’re giving you the heads up on some great ones coming up later this year.
First off, in April health food producers Rude Health are taking over events at Whole Foods in Kensington. There will be culinary workshops, demonstrations, yoga classes, running clubs and free tastings all month. There will be also be an opportunity to hear from photographer Issy Croker, carve your own porridge spoon with Grain & Knot and and make some delicious nut smoothies with Pip & Nut.
At Goodroots on 11th June, you’ll find workshops, a food market and talks from the likes of Deliciously Ella, Hemsley & Hemsley, Rosemary Ferguson and Liberty London Girl. You can buy a £10 ticket which gets you entry to the general food market and/or individual tickets to each talk.
Over in North London on the same day, the Fork to Fork Festival will also be under way. Much more of a family festival, there will be live music, a bar and kids activities with the opportunity to sample food from lots of food producers and restaurants including Caravan, Granger & Co, Iberico, Ottolenghi, Polpo, Snaps & Rye, Moro, The Modern Pantry, The River Cafe, Wahaca and Tom’s Kitchen. Set up by Thomasina Miers (of Wahaca) and Laura Harper-Hinton (of Caravan) last year, the festival raises money for the open air classroom project at ARK Franklin Primary in Kensal Rise.
