The first ever Wilmslow Food & Drink Week has been hailed a great success with many of the events selling out.
Restaurants, cafes, pubs, retailers and chefs hosted a range of special events throughout the week from beer and wine tastings to a Man V Food competition and talks on cheese making to book signings.
The week long event was organised by Wilmslow Business Group to celebrate everything to do with eating and drinking that is on offer in our town and it came to a spectacular close on Saturday 21st March with blue skies over the specially extended Artisan Market.
Denise Valente of the Wilmslow Artisan Market said "Being the grand finale to Wilmslow Food Drink Week meant we had a fabulous opportunity to really grasp the 'festival' atmosphere and incorporate some exciting additions to our event in keeping with the theme. We invited Wilmslow based restaurants and businesses to demonstrate in the 'Chef's Kitchen' which was a real hit with the visitors."
Visitors also had the chance to see the very impressive cakes entered by Wilmslow High School students into their Cake Off Competition which James Wheeler won with his wonderful burger inspired cakes.
Catherine Mackenzie, Chairman of Wilmslow Business Group, said "It's been a great week. I hope that residents and businesses have enjoyed getting into Wilmslow and enjoying all that our town has to offer. I certainly ate my way round town! Our busy events team is now focusing on our next event – the Wilmslow Art Trail which will take place in 22 venues around Wilmslow between Friday 5th and Sunday 7th June."
