The  Castle Food & Drink Fest returns to Newcastle-under-Lyme on Saturday 14 December with a side of Christmas cheer.

Taking place from 2pm to 7pm, Castle Winter Food & Drink Fest, located on the Ironmarket and High Street, promises an afternoon and evening filled with mouth-watering food, holiday tipples, artisan gifts, free family activities and live music.   

Delivered in collaboration between Newcastle-under-Lyme BID and Independent Street, Castle Winter Food & Drink Fest builds on the success of the August Bank Holiday food festival for a cracking Christmas edition.

Parking on council-owned car parks in the town centre costs £1 after 1pm until 8am the following morning.

Lisa Cowley, from Independent Street, shares her excitement: "After the success of our event earlier this year, we are so excited to be back in Newcastle-under-Lyme working alongside the BID. Christmas is such a special family time and we are looking forward to putting on a great winter event for you to enjoy. The day will be packed full of festive food, creativity, vibrancy, a few surprises and activities for the whole family. Expect winter warmers, cheeky tipples and festive treats. We can’t wait to see you all there.”
