The Festival
Fenland Food Festival, is an annual event hosted by Ferry Project Cookery School. It is fast establishing itself on the Cambridgeshire / Norfolk foodie calendar as a great place to discover excellent food that is grown or produced in the fens. We love to celebrate local products that are sustainable and delicious. We team up with a whole host of passionate producers and suppliers who are based in the fens and celebrate all things ‘fenland food’. Entry to the festival is free – so do come and enjoy.
This year’s festival is being held at Queen Mary Centre, Wisbech, PE13 2PE on Saturday 6th September 2025, from 10am-2pm.
