Eat, drink and be merry as London welcomes these weekend food festivals, all offering a little something out of the ordinary.

Foodstock Ldn is back in Battersea this weekend
Get your food fix in Battersea Park this weekend – Foodstock Ldn is a two-day jamboree of all things eating and drinking, plus options to keep the little ones entertained.
Watch out for the on-site farmer’s market, craft beers and live music. Fancy making some moonshine? There’ll be a “Beer and Brewing” workshop on both days from Sambrook’s Brewery. And, would you believe an interactive “Chocolate Meditation” workshop (that’s our type of fun!) on both Saturday and Sunday.
For the kiddies there’s face painting and a colouring in tent lined up. Oh, and they’ll be showing all the finals action from Wimbledon on a big screen so you won’t miss a shot!

If you’re up for it (and not too merry) there’ll be ping pong and garden games to enjoy. The Solid Steel Band will be providing live tunes in the day before DJs take over for a late night party.
