ANDOVER will be hosting a new street festival this weekend celebrating food and drink producers and sellers from across Test Valley.

We've rounded up all the information you need to know about the event, taking place on Sunday, September 29, from when and where to what you can expect.

When and where will it take place?

The event will be held on September 29 and will run from 10am to 4pm on Andover High Street.

It's the first year the festival, named 'Taste of Test Valley' will run, but if the event is successful, there's a high chance it will be continued next year.

What can I expect from the event?

Visitors can look forward to meeting local food producers and street food sellers as they make their way around a feast of culinary stalls.

If you're a keen foodie, you will have the chance to fill your cupboards up with a range of produce including speciality sauces, aromatic coffee, and award-winning cheeses.

If you have more of a sweet tooth, fear not, because you can stock up on honey, freshly baked goods and tempting fudge instead.

Drinks will also be on offer, with a range of locally made meads, artisan wines, craft beers and aromatic gins, available to purchase by the bottle meaning you can either enjoy some yourself or stock up on early Christmas presents.

Pizzas, BBQ dishes and nachos will make a well-rounded offering for anyone looking to sample dishes on the day, which you can pair with a drink from the bar.

Will there be entertainment?

Visitors will have the chance to sit and relax while listening to live music throughout the day from local performers such as Paul Jude Wilson, Ingenious Gentleman, Jig and Tonic and Georgie.

Who has organised the event?

The event has been organised by Test Valley Borough Council to celebrate the region.

Leader of the Council, Cllr Phil North said: “There are some fantastic local food sellers and producers in and around the borough and this event provides an opportunity for residents to shop locally, support small businesses and celebrate all of the wonderful artisan goods that we can buy on our doorstep.”
