Brightlingsea Food & Drink Festival

Brightlingsea Food & Drink Festival This great little annual event showcases the best local food and drink suppliers, alongside a wide range of international street food, arts, crafts and gifts.

Now in its 6th year this event will showcase the best local food and drink suppliers, alongside a great range of international street food, arts, crafts and gifts. There will be a real ale marquee featuring beers from local breweries, and a Prosecco bar too if fizz is more your thing? Come and browse the market for some quality produce or relax with a picnic and listen to the music. With free entry for kids it will be a feast of fun for all the family!
