Two weeks until the first Taste Salisbury kicks off!

The countdown is on!  There are now just two weeks until the first Taste Salisbury begins, with ten days of foodie festivities to take place from 27th August. 

Taste Salisbury will celebrate the wonderful array of food and drink venues, producers and sellers that can be found in the city and local region. 

Salisbury BID, Salisbury City Council and Experience Salisbury are working in partnership to produce the exciting city-wide fiesta, with events and special promotions throughout the duration. 

Mayor of Salisbury, Cllr Caroline Corbin said: “Over the last few months Salisbury has really come alive again. It's been great to see people back in the city centre and events taking place. There is a real sense of vibrancy and Taste Salisbury will build on that, bringing a festival feel to the city for ten days. With so much on offer in Salisbury there will be plenty to flavour, whatever your taste!"

Dan Collins, Business Manager at Salisbury BID, said: “It is brilliant to see so many businesses get involved in the first Taste Salisbury. There has been a lot of collaborative work, which has been encouraging to see. Through Taste Salisbury businesses will be given the opportunity to showcase what they have to offer to local residents and visitors. We all know it’s been a tough few years for our hospitality venues but now we can get behind them and support business recovery whilst enjoying the amazing food and drink on offer here.”
