The Stowmarket Food and Drink Festival takes place every year on the first Sunday of July.

The popular event, attracting crowds of over 10,000 people, celebrates local and regional produce, making it a great day out for families and foodies alike.

Visitors to the event will find a wide range of food and drink to choose from including produce stalls, street food, pop-up bars and sweet treats. The town centre will be packed with local and regional traders offering goods from a variety of cuisines. Visitors can see chefs prepare mouth-watering dishes with seasonal ingredients at the Kitchen Theatre.

There is also plenty of entertainment for all ages at venues across town, including Pocket Money Movies at The Regal.
