Everything we know so far as Stowmarket Food and Drink Festival to return
The hotly-anticipated Stowmarket Food and Drink Festival will take place in early July with food stalls, entertainment, and activities across the town.
This year will see the introduction of a new farmers’ market, with fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables, meat, and fish available to buy.

A spokesperson for Stowmarket Town Council said: “The Market Place will come alive with the sounds of live music, creating a vibrant backdrop for visitors to savour their food and drinks in the warm sunshine, truly immersing themselves in the atmosphere.

Take the opportunity to explore the local town centre businesses and organisations, specially opening their doors for this remarkable event. Mark your calendars and join us for a day of culinary delights, entertainment, and community spirit.”
The Food and Drink Festival is a celebration of local and regional produce, taking place on Sunday, July 7.
Street food, pop-up bars, and sweet treats will feature around the town, while the Food Museum will host the Festival of Beer and Brewing, and the Kitchen Theatre will showcase local chefs cooking dish from seasonal ingredients.
Entertainment, including Pocket Money Movies at The Regal, and free children’s activities will run throughout the day.
