October's food festivals in 2013 along with other notable food dates Chef Hermes

A Preview of October

Posted by Chef Hermes on September 29, 2012 · 1 Comment

So after the leak of the Michelin Guide earlier this week, ChefHermes.com is in the unique position of doing three posts in a week, all for your entertainment. Naturally approaching the end of the month I normally post the food festival preview for the prevailing month. Conveniently Sunday is a conventional posting day for the blog.

If you haven’t been to a food festival this year, please go. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the launch of the fledgling Newport Food Festival which was back in March. Everybody’s hard work will come to fruition on October 6th in Newport, sadly I’m away in Spain and so wont be able to attend, but I’m sure that Mark @ CorpulentCapers.com will be reporting back to keep everybody informed.

As ever, if you are involved with promoting a food festival, please get in touch for a free listing or if you wish to enquire about the featured listing package (which includes links to my social media accounts to improve reach).

The usual free downloadable PDF is available & quite frankly of better quality than if you press the print button. You can also store it on your smartphone & click the links as required.
