Nantwich Food Festival shortlisted for prestigious award

Nantwich Food Festival organisers were thrilled to hear that the festival has been shortlisted for one of the Cheshire Life Food & Drink Awards 2025.

This new award for the ‘Specialist Venue or Event of the Year’ category will be presented to the lucky winner at a black tie event at Carden Park Hotel on 21st July.

Representing the Festival at the awards evening will be Nanna Pedley, Director and Sponsorship Manager, Jackie Stringer, Town Business Liaison Manager and Nathan Arndt, Festival Committee Secretary and Marquee Manager.

Nathan says:

“As Festival organisers we recognise how well-received and popular the Festival is, but it is amazing to hear that we have been shortlisted for such a special award. Nanna, Jackie and I are delighted to be representing Nantwich Food Festival at the awards event.”

Nathan goes on to say:

“We suspect that it is the range and quality of the Festival plus that fact that it is such a community event, free to enter and run entirely by volunteers, that has prompted our being shortlisted.

Locals will already have the Festival dates in their diaries – 3 full days, 29th-31st August inclusive; we have some great exhibitors, events and entertainment to share with visitors.

I look forward to seeing you at this year’s Nantwich Food Festival.”
