FESTIVAL DATES ANNOUCED FOR 2016!
We’re very pleased to announce the dates for our 19th annual celebration of all things gastronomically great up North.
MFDF 2016 will take place from 29th Sept - 10th Oct.
The Festival promises to feature the most jam-packed programme of food and drink activity yet.
“Its great to see Manchester continually named in lists of the best places to live in the UK and to be recognised on the global stage. The world-class food and drink community is a major reason for that. It’s incredible to think how far Manchester’s gastronomic offer has come since the first festival almost 20 years ago. The 2016 event will be a celebration of Manchester’s great food scene and the people who make it what it is.” commented Phil Jones, the Festival’s founder.
The first programme announcements will be made in two week’s time, and will include the return of the Festival Hub to Albert Square, appearances from chefs from around the UK, the MFDF Gala Dinner and Awards and some exciting new venues and partners.
