Dive into the heart of Norfolk's countryside at the Worstead Festival, an annual celebration that brings to life the rich tapestry of rural heritage, local arts, crafts, and the finest produce the region has to offer. Scheduled for the last weekend in July, specifically the 27th and 28th in 2024, the festival promises two days of immersive activities, workshops, demonstrations, music, entertainment, and a showcase of local food and drink, all set in the picturesque location of Worstead, nestled between the Norfolk Broads and the coast.

Native2Norfolk has taken a pioneering role at the Worstead Festival, orchestrating a vibrant food and drink farmer's market marquee, a dynamic cookery theatre, and the newly rebranded street food area, aptly named Gastronomy Glade. This comprehensive oversight ensures that festival-goers are treated to an exceptional culinary experience, showcasing the very best that Norfolk has to offer. 

From farm-fresh produce and artisanal goods in the market marquee to live cooking demonstrations that captivate and educate, Native2Norfolk curates an atmosphere where passion for local food and drink thrives. The Gastronomy Glade, a focal point for the festival, becomes a bustling hub of flavors where visitors can indulge in a diverse array of street food, each dish telling its own story of local heritage and culinary innovation. 

Through these ventures, Native2Norfolk not only enriches the festival experience but also champions the local food industry, providing a platform for producers, chefs, and small business owners to connect with the wider community.

This community-led festival, rooted in a tradition that spans decades, is more than just an event; it's a vibrant expression of North Norfolk's spirit, showcasing the area's abundance and the creativity of its people. From art and craft stalls where local artisans display their work, to a selection of food and drink vendors offering tastes of the region, the festival is a perfect outing for families, foodies, and anyone keen to discover the best of Norfolk in a lively and welcoming setting.

For more information on ticket prices, opening times, and how to get there, the festival welcomes everyone and even encourages bringing along your furry friends, provided they are on a lead. With easy access by train, car, or even plane for those coming from afar, planning your visit to the Worstead Festival is seamless, promising an unforgettable experience of Norfolk's rural culture and community spirit.
