Welcome
to the 2021 weyMouth f D FesTival We are so thankful that we have managed to host this brand-new event for you this weekend. It’s been a very turbulent time for us during the pandemic and we’ve just about managed to stay afloat so we are very grateful that you have decided to come today. We’ve all had our own personal challenges to overcome and we very much hope you are all fighting fit and healthy as that’s the priority. Please take the time to look the vouchers within the programme. They will help you negate the cost of entry when you make purchases at the vendors who have the offers displayed herein. If you’re brave enough, you can have a go at the Man/woman verses food challenge which is happening by the Cooking Theatre at lunchtime. If you would like to get involved please speak to a member of the team at the Information Point. We have an event arena positioned in the shaded area towards the back of the site. At 2pm each day the fantastic ‘Sister Fitness’ will be putting on a dance performance and you are all welcome to join in if you are feeling energetic. Following this at 3pm each day we have our Companion Dog shows with four categories – best trick, waggiest tail, best tale and best dressed (owner can also take part). Please book in your dog at the Information Point, although unfortunately we only have 8 spaces per category. If you are bringing your dog/s, we have four (yet to be patented) dog stations around the site which have everything your dog requires to enjoy their day. Please remember to keep your dog out of the full sun during the hottest part of the day – there are many shaded areas on site for them and you to take a break from the heat. Activities for the children (old and young) include: Crazy Golf, Story Telling, Giant Bubble Parties, Fun Fair, Treasure Hunt and more. If you’re interested in the cooking side of things, our resident chef Chilli Olly will be able to wow you with his
knowledge in the Cooking Theatre. Chilli Olly is a bit of a celebrity in the Chilli world, so don’t be afraid to ask him any questions! The Cooking Theatre is a fun and interactive space and will showcase some of the products on site whether it be cooking, tasting, sampling, etc. We are also hosting a live music stage – seating (picnic tables, hay bales and deck chairs) will be positioned in front for you to enjoy a break. Of course we have to mention housekeeping - please adhere to social distancing as much as you can even though we are all outside. Please use the sanitisers available and please be conscious that some people may be quite nervous still when out and about, so let’s respect each other. Our aim is to entertain you throughout the day with fun filled entertainments and exposure to some of the UK’s finest food options. We try and design the event so that each member of the family has something to look forward to. The ethos behind the Festival is to create an event which is both affordable and entertaining so we hope you enjoy your stay. The event is all about having some fun and sampling different tastes so enjoy and please receive the event with the goodwill it was offered.
Once again, thank you for coming, stay safe and have a great day!

DogShow Weymouth Food Festival loves well behaved dogs. In fact we love them so much we have created four (yet to be patented) dog stations that will be placed around the site to cater for your dogs every need. We are also running a companion dog show at 3 pm each day in our events arena. We have four categories for you both to enter: waggiest tail, best trick, best tale (rescue story, acts of unprecedented heroism etc) and best dressed (owners can take part too). Simply go to our Information point and fill in a form for your chosen category (dogs should be included in this decision please), and then be at the event arena at your allocated

time. We can accommodate 8 dogs per category, all places are free but if you really want to pay we are collecting for our chosen animal charity Dog Friendly Social. Please remember - we are not Crufts. This is just a bit of fun for us all to get together and explain why our dogs, and all dogs, are good boys and girls and to show everyone else how much we love them.
