2009 Testimonials:

I just wanted to say a truly excellent Festival - even down to organising the weather! You all worked incredibly hard and it SHOWED!! Fabulous day out and I look forward to 2010. The community owes you.

Gwynneth Hewetson, Chair, Wokingham Cultural Partnership

I just wanted to pass on my congratulations for the Wokingham Food Festival. The passion and enthusiasm of the exhibitors in the food marquee was very evident.

Mr V, Charvil

Thank you for a great show. Vicky, I and the team were very pleased with our two days. We made lots of new "friends" for Hare Hatch Sheeplands and sold a tonne of lardy cake (well almost).
