Hitchin Wine and Food Festival

The Hitchin Wine and Food Festival, organised by the Rotary Club of Hitchin Tilehouse takes place this year on Saturday, November 26.

Now in its 13th year It promises to be the best yet thanks to the overwhelming number of local food and wine businesses wanting to take part. 

FOOD

In the Market Place, you can wander amongst our colourful gazebos, enjoying the sights and smells of delicious food.  

From Mediterranean specialities to local cheeses, oils, pickles, preserves, honey, sausages, fresh fruit and gorgeous vegetables to scrummy cakes, there will be something to please everybody.  

Why not wash this down with some fine ale from our local brewery or some seasonal steaming spiced mulled wine?

WINE

In the gorgeous Mountford room of Hitchin Town Hall independent wine merchants will offer a stunningly diverse selection of  wines to taste from around the world all under one roof. 

This year the wine selection is bigger and better than ever, we have more experts on hand to share their passion and love of wine. 

Entry to the wine event is £6.95 for adults. Your ticket means you can sample as many wines as are on offer, talk to the various stall holders at your leisure
