Kilmacolm & Port Glasgow Show After discussion with the Directors it was agreed that we would take the difficult decision to cancel the Show again this year.
The festival will take place from Friday 16th – Saturday 24th April and will showcase the rich diversity of Renfrewshire’s food and drink offer through a series of vibrant short films and a mouth-watering menu of interactive experiences, including online cooking demonstrations, tastings, workshops and much more.
However, following the success of last year’s virtual show, we will be running another virtual show this year! Details will be revealed very soon! Full details available from our Facebook page and website.
Paisley Food and Drink Festival aims to support local businesses, cafes, bars, restaurants and growers across Renfrewshire and the surrounding area, with spending local more important now than ever.
