Last Friday’s first ever Yummy Food Festival proved to be a huge success despite the weather. More than 470 people of all ages attended the event at North Edinburgh Arts Centre, and with a recipe of demonstrations, competitions, arts workshops, drama performances and food tasting everybody went home happy!
As well as that feast of indoor activities there was more on the menu outside – two marquees offered face painting, information stalls, home baking and arts and crafts tables.
The event was organised by local women, assisted by Pilton Community Health Project and the local Community Learning and Development team. Healthy Lifestyles Coordinator Lisa Arnott said: “We were all very worried when we saw the rain coming down but fortunately that didn’t put too many people off – we are absolutely delighted that so many local people came along to support the event. The feedback has been great and we would like to thank everyone who played their part in making the day such a success”.
