We will again this year play host to part of the Food Festival and hold some of our own activities in parallel with the Festival.
THE FOOD FESTIVAL EVENTS
A new feature this year sees us hosting the Friday night Edinburgh Food Studio pop up Event in the Priory Centre. Your chance to experience some of the most innovative cuisine of the UK food scene. The Food Festival are delighted to welcome chefs Ben Reade and Sashana Souza Zanella from the crowd funded restaurant and food research hub, Edinburgh Food Studio.
Saturday and Sunday will again see the Priory Centre host Masterclasses and the Courtyards will be the transformed in to a market of the most amazing food and drink products.
CREATION
During the month of September, the month of Harvest Thanksgiving and Food Festival, we will be displaying the Bible Societies display Creation: A Celebration, as we give thanks to God for providing us with the fruits of the earth.
The 42 breathtaking panels of embroidery, painting and mixed-media are a luminescent piece of storytelling which took two years to complete. The tapestries are based on Bible verses from Genesis 1–2, and is rich in detail, vitality and is even humorous – helping viewers to reconnect with the natural world through a blend of historic and contemporary artistry.
The tapestry panels, by artist Sue Symons, were completed in the summer of 2009, and were displayed at Bath Abbey alongside the Bath Diptychs.
TEA ON THE LAWN
A must for all Festival goers is Traditional Tea in the calm and tranquility of the Vicarage Lawn, yards from the main Festival. Tea is served on Saturday from 10am – 4pm.
FRINGE
On Friday in the Priory Church will be holding a Fringe event about sustainable fish: Future for Fish
