NWVC volunteers sought for Food Fest

The LegenDerry Food Fest is a three-day festival in Guildhall, showcasing cookery demonstrations and children’s entertainment from March 15 to 17 inclusive.

The programme supports promotion of all food types from beef and dairy to seafood and baked goods and attracts up to 500 participants at any one time and will include a boulevard of 14 chefs, a theatre of food display, as well as producers.
