It's the same every year!

Organising the Food and Drink Festival is a full time job - but great fun! Whilst the Festival is only an annual three day event, the planning and preparation takes almost a whole year. And it is at this time that the heat is really on!

The Festival takes place during the first weekend in October. So what's the panic? Well, the official programme goes to the printers in three weeks time so that the 32,000 copies can be delivered to homes throughout selected areas of Staffordshire and surrounding areas by the middle of September. No mean feat!

So I am now chasing and pestering licensees, restaurant owners, shop and business proprietors to tell me what they are doing during the Festival so that I can make sure that their Festival events and promotions are all included.

So if you see me in town during the next fortnight looking a little more flustered than normal, you now know why!!
