Real Bread at the Real Food Festival

May 5th - 8th 2011, Earl's Court, London

The Real Bread Campaign will be back at the festival in 2011 for the third year in a row, launching Real Bread Maker Week and laying a trail of Real Breadcrumbs throughout the show.  Watch this space for more details.

"The Real Food Festival is more than a just a food event or farmers’ market. It’s packed with events for the whole family and provides a unique platform for hundreds of smaller producers for whom attendance at such shows is normally too costly and unrealistic. The Festival selects the best small producers it can find and subsidises their attendance, thus giving them a fabulous opportunity to grow their businesses and offering visitors a one to one introduction to Britain’s real food heroes."

The 2010 trail of Real Breadcrumbs

In addition to offering Real Bread Campaign members an exclusive ticket discount, our good friends at the Real Food Festival allowed us to lay a trail of Real Breadcrumbs through last year's event.

Here are some of the Real Bread highlights from 2010.

The Festival Loaf
Visit the fabulous Real Bread bakers at the festival, sample their nominated loaves and then cast your vote at the Real Bread Campaign stand.  The one with the most votes at the end of the weekend will be crowned Real Food Festival Loaf 2010.
