Everything you need to know about Littlehampton's new food and drink festival with live music and entertainment planned

Organised by Zoom Events and supported by Littlehampton Town Council, the free-to-enter festival will take place on Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12.

It will bring together the ‘very best of local, national and international food and drink’ for a weekend of ‘flavour, entertainment and family fun’, the organisers said.

They added: “The High Street will be transformed into a lively festival space, lined with stalls offering freshly prepared hot and cold street food, artisan groceries, a live music stage, bars and children’s rides.

“Visitors can look forward to sampling an exciting range of hot foods from around the world including Greek souvlaki, Korean corn dogs, Thai curries, sausages, burgers and traditional Mexican dishes.

“Alongside the street food, a tempting selection of unusual and homemade groceries will be available, from olives, fudge, biltong and cheese to freshly baked treats such as brownies and cookie pies.

"The Famous Last Stand bars will also be serving fine beverages, including real ales and cider, perfect for those looking to enjoy a refreshing drink with their food.”

Throughout the weekend, the free to enter festival will ‘offer entertainment for the whole family’.

Live music from talented bands will ‘keep the atmosphere buzzing’, the organisers added, while shoppers can enjoy browsing an ‘eclectic mix of homeware and craft stalls’ alongside the food-focused festivities.

Paul Kennedy, director of Zoom Events, said: “We are looking forward to launching a new family-friendly food and drink festival in the heart of Littlehampton.

"The event will bring a great mix of stalls together with live music and entertainment making for a weekend of food focused fun.”

Mayor Alan Butcher – the chairman of the town centre action group – said he was ‘delighted’ that Littlehampton can host ‘such an exciting event, which can be enjoyed by residents and visitors’.

The Mayor of Littlehampton added: “With great food, live music and entertainment for all ages, the food and drink festival will offer something for everyone. The town council is thrilled to support this event, and it provides a wonderful way to round off the Easter holidays following so many other activities and events in the town centre.”
