OUR EVER-POPULAR POP-UPS

We have more pop up suppers than ever to choose from this year in Lewes, Ringmer and Seaford with tantalising menus for vegans to carnivores. Full listings.

For newcomers to the pop up concept: you dine at the host’s home with strangers – so come as a couple, alone or with a friend and you’re sure to have a relaxed and fun evening!

Make a reservation early to avoid disappointment. Please pay for your supper when booking… and don’t forget to bring a bottle!

All power to your elbow with our apple press

Make your own delicious apple juice

Don’t let your apples and pears go to waste – instead bring them along to the Linklater Pavilion on Railway Land on Saturday and Sunday, 23rd and 24th  September and have them pressed for a moderate charge of 50p per litre.

 

Volunteer pressers needed

The OctoberFeast Press holds 18kg of crushed fruit which will produce approximately 8 litres of juice. With a full press, it should be possible to do 3 pressings an hour so we would love to have some help!  So do please come and help us make the most of this lovely free fruit!

 

Our food festival will soon be upon us

Now is your challenge to tend your fruit and reserve at least some in September to enjoy pressing your very own natural fruit juice. Nothing could be a better reward.  If possible bring your own containers but we have some to sell on site.

Check out the OctoberFeast blog for recipes, interviews and details of how to get the most out of this year’s festival.

Each year dozens of independent events take place as part of Lewes OctoberFeast, from specialist menus to theatre productions. We offer free advertising in our programme and online for a limited number of events that are held for the benefit of the community and the environment.

If you would like to be involved in OctoberFeast 2017, check out our blog for more information about hosting an event, pop-up supper or volunteering.
