Street Eat – the food and drink festival that attracts thousands of visitors every year – is returning to Rochdale Town Hall Square for another serving of food, drink, free entertainment and live music on Saturday, June 21.
Organised by Rochdale Business Improvement District (BID) during Rochdale’s year as Greater Manchester Town of Culture, Street Eat brings together local food and drink establishments.
Visitors will have their taste buds tickled and thirsts quenched as well as enjoying lots of free live music. Tasty food from local restaurant chefs will be on the menu, with dozens of mouth-watering dishes served up including, Italian, Indian, English, American and more.
There will be free activities and rides for children, bars for the adults and a music stage serving up hours of fun for all ages.
BID manager Paul Ambrose who organises the event said Street Eat showcases the vibrant and high-quality food and drink the town has to offer as well as being a great day out: “It’s a fantastic event, giving us the opportunity to champion the very best local food and drink.
“Street Eat is always a great day, bringing friends and families together, celebrating our vibrant town centre eateries and showing what a foodie hotspot the town is. We do all we can to make the event as affordable as possible too and entry is free.”
The line-up of traders for this summer’s edition is yet to be confirmed but will include include Bombay Away, Vicolo Del Vino, The Flying Horse Hotel, The Baum, Masons Creations, Bank Top Farm, Treehouse Bar and many more.
Councillor Sue Smith said: “It’s great to see Street Eat returning during our year as town of culture and it will be fantastic to see the square come alive again with food, fun and community spirit!”
Ben Boothman, consultant to The Flying Horse Hotel added: “Our team loves this event and are looking forward to it returning. With traders serving up smaller portions it means you can sample dishes from different venues and experience amazing food on the menu served up here in the town centre. We’re pleased to be working alongside Rochdale BID again to celebrate the area’s great food and drink offer.”
The entertainment and music line-up will be announced in May.
