Feast Hinckley to bring food and drink spectacular to town

FEAST Hinckley returns to Green Flag award winning Argents Mead on Saturday and Sunday 10 and 11 August from 10am-5pm.

The free entry food and drink festival organised by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council will feature 45 vendors offering a range of national and international cuisine.

Four live bands will play across the weekend and a 120ft giant inflatable assault course sponsored by Hinckley BID will be available for kids (minimum age five) and big kids at just 50p per go!

Other highlights will include local radio station Fosse 107, face painting, bungee trampolines, mini-bikers, further entertainment and more. Even four legged friends have not been forgotten with stalls selling a variety of pet treats!

There will be a FREE Park and Ride operating from Triumph Motorcycles on Normandy Way on Saturday 10 August from 11am with half hourly buses into the town centre with final bus returning to Triumph for 4pm. Parking is FREE in all town centre council car parks on the Sunday.

For shelter or shade, five large pagoda marquees will be set up in the Mead along with lots of extra picnic benches and parasols. Admission is free although charges apply for some activities. For further updates visit our Facebook page @feasthinckley

John Coward, Assistant Town Centre Manager, said “Last year was a great success and we look forward to building on that success with the introduction of even more entertainment this year.

“We are delighted that we are able to offer residents and visitors such a wide range of food and drink options - we have been fully booked for almost six months, which hopefully speaks volumes as to the popularity of this event. We look forward to seeing everybody.”
