Imagine a whole festival dedicated to cheese? Imagine no more. Birmingham Seasonal Markets presents Cheese Fest 2020 at The Bond in Digbeth. The event has been a sellout for the past two years and is likely to be this year. The one-day pop-up festival mixes cheese-only traders with some Birmingham faves offering cheese specials.

Rugby Food & Drink Festival is a bit earlier this year – slap bang in summer instead of in the usual September festival season. This year looks to be a bit different from previous years and even better. Watch this space and the Rugby First website for more updates!

I love a food festival and this one sounds pretty good. More than 50 stalls, including street food and local produce plus Santa, reindeer, bars, entertainment, workshops, gin tastings and more. The perfect warm-up for Christmas!
