FOOD F ESTIVAL
Saltburn
T
he organisers of the weather-battered
Saltburn Food Festival praised the “very
special” community spirit that helped ensure a
memorable day for thousands of visitors despite
the challenging conditions.
With heavy rain and gusts predicted, the
agonising decision was taken to cancel all
outdoor stalls that required gazebos.
But despite months of detailed plans having
to be cast aside, townsfolk rallied round with
offers of support and indoor facilities that could
be used to help rescue a scaled-down event.
“Saltburn is a wonderful place and everyone
rallied round to help in any way they could,”
said organiser Lorna Jackson.
“We were able to find space for all those
traders who were able to operate indoors and
I’m delighted with the way people reacted and
how everyone played their part.”
