Hull Global Food Fest 20094th- 6th September 2009 Hull city centre is set to host its third 3 day Global Food Fest from the 4th- 6th September 2009. With a main event stage, marquees and markets as well as a complete programme of entertainment, there really will be something for everyone! There are some exciting changes to the festival site this year, which will include: Feast of Yorkshire & the Humber Marquee Once again, top chef Nigel Brown will be appearing at the festival, this will be the third year running Nigel has tempted the tastebuds of the people in Hull so be sure to catch one of his entertaining demonstrations. The identity of our headline celebrity chef is yet to be revealed but they will certainly have a hard act to follow, treading in the footsteps of previous celebrities James Martin and Ainsley Harriott. Last year’s event proved to be huge success once again with around 60,000 extra visitors flocking to the centre of Hull to grab a taste of the action. This year’s line-up of chefs, exhibitors, demonstrators and stall holders promises to be just as impressive, showcasing the best in local produce and global cuisine. If all this were not exciting enough, there is an exciting twist to the 2009 event… We are linking up with the Round the World Clipper Yacht Race, to mark the prestigious launch, which is being hosted by Hull this year along with the nail-biting finish. All of the Clipper crews will have a chance to sample a vast range of Global cuisine before they even leave our coastline, and we can’t wait to send them off in style! For the duration of the festival, the centre of Hull will once again be transformed into a bustling hub of activity with several key locations hosting markets, demonstrations, speciality produce and, of course, giving away free samples! The festival offers a great time for all the family, particularly with our new Family and Education Marquee. Our markets provide a range of products from around the world and the main stage programme, crammed with top chefs, will provide visitors with expert hints and tips! |

Facebook"It's a pleasure to watch Nigel on stage or in the kitchen, he has a natural ability to entertain an audience with his fantastic skill and gentle manner and we enjoy working with him as one of our select guest chefs at the Novelli Academy. I don't just admire him as a chef but also as a person and both I and the rest of the Academy team are happy to support him in his new venture."

"Thank you so much Nigel and Lisa for the fabulous day Dan and I spent with you on the chocolate course. I feel really guilty I only got Dan an anniversary card and he treated me to this wonderful day, I haven't laughed so much for a long time and we both learnt so many new ideas. Thanks again, can't wait to see you again for the next course."
