Food Festival Nourishes The Devizes Community

This Is Wiltshire: Devizes Food and Drink Festival treasurer Dave Mitchell and chairman Philippa Morgan present a cheque to Devizes Mayor Roger Giraud-Saunders who is accompanied by his wife Giovanna 

This year's Devizes Food Festival was our most successful for some years with ticket sales up and a healthy financial surplus. As a result we were able to contribute £300 to the Mayor's Fund (above) and £200 to Devizes Food Bank this year.


This year we were also able to help several other local charities (including Sustainable Devizes, Marie Curie, Lions and The Secret Garden Project) by providing them with stalls at the Grand Festival Market. 

We also supported the Prisoner Rehabilitation Programme at Earlestoke prison and the Nursteed Centre for disabled people by including events organised by them in our programme. 

Last but not least we were partnered by the Devizes Scouts who delivered our programmes to local homes in return for a contribution to their Jamboree Fundraising.
