The Leicestershire Food Fortnight 2010 will be running from Saturday 18th September until Sunday 3rd October 2010 and a new brochure Leicestershire Food Fortnight 2010 has been compiled to give you lots of information on the amazing range of food events that have been arranged to celebrate the Fortnight. There will also be updates on new events not included in the brochure on the GoLeicestershire website as well as details about two new competitions run by Leicestershire Promotions - Leicestershire Breakfast and Leicestershire Menu which will run during the fortnight.

This year's theme is "Taste Something Different - Taste Leicestershire!"

We are still looking for producers, restaurants, cafes, pubs, schools, colleges. charities, community groups and individuals who would be interested in "getting involved" by organising food events to celebrate all that's good to eat and drink in Leicestershire. All events will be added to the Leicestershire Food Fortnight 2010 brochure as well as businesses using local produce.

So if you would like to be involved contact Leicestershire Food Links now.
