The annual month long Steyning & District Food and Drink Festival yet again delivered! Numerous events held during September included a vast variety of choice and during the final week included such happenings as the Tasty Countryside Walk for St Barnabas, Wiston Winery Wine Tasting and Food Pairing and the Farmers Market Annual Pumpkin Weigh – something for everyone.
One event which brought so much fun to kiddies and grown-ups alike was the Cobblestone Tea House Children’s Superheroes Tea Party and Best Dressed Cuddly Toy Competition. After enjoying a mammoth tea party spread, the children were truly amazed when Gruffalo appeared at the door to judge the competition! The kiddies were wide-eyed as they watched him hand out the wonderful prizes of massive chocolate goodie boxes, generously donated by local chocolate making company, Cocoa Loco. Steyning Bookshop also very kindly donated two Julia Donaldson signed Gruffalo books, which Janine from the Tea House has put into a Raffle to raise money for the Festival charity, St Barnabas. A knockout occasion and one not to be forgotten by both the children and accompanying parents.
