Romsey Food Fair organiser and Vice President of Romsey Chamber, Adam Clemett commented, “We were delighted with the support we received from exhibitors and the public for this first event for several years, and because of this we have been able to give decent amounts to the Chamber’s nominated charities and others who made the event such a success. Encouraged by the interest in 2022, plans are now well underway to run a further Fair this year on Sunday 3rd September’. Suzi Shilling, Business, Events and Tourism O cer for Romsey Town Council added, “It was fantastic to be a part of last year’s Romsey Food Festival which was a real added attraction to the Town. We would like to thank the Romsey Chamber for their kind donation and support. The Romsey Town Council Marshals are instrumental to all the events which happen over the year which require road closures, not only the Romsey Food Festival but other events such as Beggars Fair, Romsey Carnival, Remembrance Day and all the Christmas events, so it is great to be recognised for all the work they do in supporting Romsey.” e rst ever New Forest Food Festival will be held on the 5th and 6th August at Hinton Admiral Estate, sponsored by Stewarts Garden Centres.
