Free food festival on Camberwell Green 🍲🙌

Camberwell Green will be hosting the free Eat Around the World food festival for the third year running on Saturday 16 May from 11am – 7pm.

South London food lovers are in for a treat this May, with a food festival celebrating the rich diversity of flavours found across Camberwell and wider South London.

Last year, the festival drew an impressive crowd of over 7,000 local residents and families and this year promises to be even bigger. 🙌

Described as a “true foodie destination,” the festival will showcase cuisines from across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. With more than eighty food stalls to explore, visitors can expect a vibrant mix of tastes, aromas, and culinary traditions.

This year will also shine a spotlight on hyper-local produce, from honey and jam to cakes, mushrooms, and locally brewed mead. Camberwell Green’s farmers’ market will be on hand, offering farm-fresh produce, artisan and deli items, as well as plants and herbs. 🌿

A selection of bars will be available to quench your thirst, serving local craft ales, cider, bubble tea, wine tastings, and classic Pimm’s. 🍹 Visitors can also pick up a free Camberwell Food Map, guiding them through the SE5 food scene and helping them make the most of the festival.

For those keen to explore further, Camberwell Food Walks will run throughout the day, taking guests to some of the area’s most exciting food destinations. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample dishes and meet the people behind the recipes.

The recently launched Camberwell Life App will be showcasing what’s on offer at the festival and will provide culinary tours around each continent.

Annette Cauneen from Urban Farmers’ Market, who played a key role in developing the festival, said: “This festival turns Camberwell Green into a global kitchen. Every stall opens a door to another culture, reflecting the extraordinary food landscape of Camberwell itself.”

There’s no need to book, simply turn up on the day and enjoy a celebration of food, culture, and community in the heart of SE5. 😍🍛
