Organisers have hailed the "resounding success" of Warwick Food Festival which moved to a new location on Sunday (May 26).

The annual community event saw thousands turning out and rave reviews from both traders and visitors as the festival moved to St Nicholas Park in its 9th year.

The new venue provided ample space for over 80 diverse food and drink traders, as well as live music and family-friendly activities.

Festival-goers were able to sample delectable cuisine from local and regional producers, discovering new favourite artisanal foods and beverages.

Jamie Walker of CJ's Events Warwickshire - which organised the festival - said: "Despite a wet start and the odd shower, we're thrilled that the new location was such a resounding success.

"The new site allowed us to expand our offerings and create an even more spacious experience for our loyal visitors as well as attract many new visitors to discover the incredible food scene we have across Warwickshire and the extended region."

He added: "Whilst it's a shame it's moved out of the town, we feel the park did work better.

"The festival does not have a negative impact on shops and traffic, which has been an issue in previous years and allows much more space to accommodate the volume of visitors the event attracts."

The organisers will work with Warwick District Council to confirm a 2025 date which will be announced soon.
