North Edinburgh Arts Centre will be the venue for North Edinburgh’s first ever Yummy Food Festival next month, and it promises to be very tasty event indeed! With demonstrations, workshops, cookery competitions and theatre performances organisers are hoping the festival will attract a healthy attendance too!
Pilton Community Health Project’s Community Healthy Lifestyles Coordinator Lisa Arnott (pictured above) is a member of the steering group organising the big event and she’s looking forward to seeing as many local people attend as possible.
She said: “The festival has been developed by local women from Muirhouse and West Pilton in partnership with Pilton Community Health Project and Forth Community Learning and Development team. This festival is full of exciting cooking workshops and food demonstrations, theatre performance, home baking, arts workshops, Zumba and a whole host of healthy food activities.”
She added: “Free goody bags, recipe cards and tasters will also be given out on the day but numbers are limited at the demonstrations and workshop so these will be on a ‘first come first served’ basis. Step into Spring 2012 and come along to the healthiest festival in North Edinburgh, the Yummy Food Festival!’
Forth CLD worker Sara Low is also a member of the steering group and she’s equally enthusiastic about the event. “This will be a great day out for local people but also a great opportunity for community groups, campaigns and organisations to give out information. It’s a really good programme and we’re really looking forward to what we hope will be a very exciting Festival”.
North Edinburgh’s Yummy Food Festival takes place on Friday 16 March from noon until 5pm. For further information call Lisa at Pilton Community Health Project on 551 1671 or email admin@pchp.org.uk
