Thousands of foodies flock to day one of Cov Food Festival
Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2018 10:20 pmThe day was a huge success - but the festival isn't over yet
We paid the festival a visit during the opening hour to see what was on offer, and it was already packed.
People were sat on the sofas and benches with a glass of prosecco in the sun, while queues formed for some of the most delicious food.
An array of traders are joining in with the weekend and will be selling everything from cheese, fudge, ice cream, sweet treats to vodkas, cider, gin, and a whole host of delicious street food, including burgers, Greek dishes, cakes, pizza, as well as much more.
Companies who will be setting up stands include the likes of BOHNS Rubs and Spices, Pizza Traders, Icandy Fudge, V Gallery, Rubis and 546 Cheese.com.
The Mobile Prosecco Bar will also be dropping in for the weekend, and a number of BID businesses will also be getting involved during the two days.
The soundtrack to the weekend will be provided by live music at the Bandstand Stage.
Acts performing include singer-songwriter Kristy Gallacher, covers band The Bridge, X Factor star Charlie Healy and The Voice star Letitia George, The Upsiders, Steve Berry, Cliff Hands and Samarophox.
Free Radio Breakfast Show host JD and BBC Coventry and Warwickshire presenter Brody Swain will act as hosts over the two days.
