TASTE Salisbury 2023: The Gastronomic Delight Returns for Its Third Year

Get ready to indulge in a feast for the senses as TASTE Salisbury, our historic city’s premier food and drink festival, returns for its third year from 28th September to 1st October 2023. With a line-up of exciting events and renowned personalities, this year’s festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before.

The festival will kick off on Thursday 28th September with the highly anticipated and much-loved Giuseppe Dell’Anno, winner of The Great British Bake Off 2021. This “Britalian” baker, engineer, and author will showcase his love for delicious food, using local ingredients to create mouth-watering recipes live. Also on this evening, why not join local artist, Edward Scott, for a foodie inspired life drawing class in the splendour of the Guildhall’s Banqueting Hall.

The following evening, on Friday 29th September, you will be spoilt for choice with Rums & Drums in the TASTE Marquee, a Book & Pudding Club at The Wood Bar, and a scientific food sensation in the Guildhall… Join us for an extraordinary night of sensory exploration at ‘Sound Bites & Sonic Seasoning’ with Professor Charles Spence from Oxford University. Discover the fascinating connection between sound and taste as you sample wine alongside surprising sounds. This is an incredible, unique event not to be missed!

Not all the fun is evening-bound, for daytime activity seekers, look no further than our wide range of workshops, activities, walks and trails. There’s so much to do including: a table scaping workshop with Casa Fina, a cookbook binding workshop at Fisherton Mill, Herb & Foraging Walks starting at Five Rivers Leisure Centre, as well as a whole host of free activity on at Salisbury Library.

On Saturday 30th September the Guildhall Square will be taken over by an incredible City Beer Festival, as well as our amazing TASTE Marquee featuring some amazing foodie names. Lorna Cooper, founder of the ‘Feed Your Family for Around £20 a Week’ Facebook community, is joining us on the Saturday to share her expertise on budget-friendly cooking, minimising waste, and creating delicious meals. This is a FREE event, kindly sponsored by Central Fruits, that requires a pre-reserved ticket. Also joining the jam-packed TASTE Saturday, is Omari Mcqueen, CBBC star and viral sensation. At just 15 years old, Omari is a renowned vegan chef, author, and TV personality. Join him as he prepares delicious dishes using local ingredients and shares his inspiring journey.
