DESPITE recently becoming a nation of alfresco diners, we ve been enjoying food in the great outdoors since the beginning of time. Whether it s eating a full-blown meal or simply purchasing groceries from a market vendor – food festivals are the perfect destinations for foodies seeking a culinary adventure. And none more so than at Christchurch Food Festival, an event that s grown from strength to strength since its beginnings in 2000. Despite last years event being cancelled due to the Coronavirus, this year s three-day show is scheduled for the August Bank Holiday. These pictures, taken in 2001 during the second event of its kind, show food lovers having a great time.
THE popular Bournemouth Air Festival is set to return this summer, after BCP Council confirmed it planned to host a programme of events “similar to 2019”. Thousands typically descend on to Bournemouth’s beaches for the event which sees the country’s most talented pilots put on a display for the visitors.
