Nourish Festival, now in its 4th year, has become synonymous with fine food, craft and music of the highest quality presented in the heart of Bovey Tracey, Devon.
The Nourish Food & Drink Fair will fill Bovey's high street with some of the best producers from the South West on Saturday 2 September. We have invited producers of the widest possible variety of excellent food and only had two simple criteria - you make the best and you live in the South West of England. Expect to find artisan cheeses, preserves, bread, cakes, cordials, vegetables, herbs, beer, game, meat, fish, wine, liqueurs, cider, relishes, pates, handmade chocolates, oils, pies and even speciality mushrooms. An exceptional collection of epicurean delights.
The Devon Street Food Awards at Nourish Festival, in association with Devon Life, celebrate the very best in street food in Devon. Street food producers from across Devon are invited to enter and present our judges with an eclectic, exciting and above all delicious mix of street food at Nourish.
We are extremely partial to a decent gin & tonic and with the soon to be opened Dartmoor Distillery in Bovey Tracey, we are rather keen to announce The Nourish Gin Festival. South west producers of artisan gin will gather for us all to enjoy their wares. Our Gin Festival is supported by Fever Tree Tonic and Tarquin’s Gin.
Other events include The Bovey Bake Off and Junior Bovey Bake Off, which will once again get the community reaching for their mixing bowls and be judged by our own Queen of Cakes, Tracey Godwin.
The Nourish Contemporary Craft Fair will be hosted in the Methodist Church Hall, showcasing beautiful handmade craft from across the South West with craft demonstrations and other craft events taking place at Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
Exceptional makers will present an inspirational selection of jewellery, pottery, glass, textiles and wood.
The Nourish Music programme from 1 September will present a rare performance from world-renowned cellist, Steven Isserllis. Isserlis, who sells out Wigmore Hall and venues across the globe will be performing in Bovey Tracey on Friday September 1st in the intimate surroundings of St Peter, St Paul and St Thomas Church. A truly unique experience.
The Festival also features Japanese pianist, Noriko Ogawa. Noriko appears with all the major European, Japanese and US orchestras including recent and forthcoming performances with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio and BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. Noriko will be performing in Bovey Tracey on Friday September 2nd at St Peter, St Paul and St Thomas Church.
Superlocrian, our Saturday afternoon concert, brings together two trumpets, two trombones and two saxophones to create a thrilling sound where the dynamic edge of brass sits alongside the warm, soulful sounds of sax and flute - a concert promising adrenaline, emotion and superb musicianship.
