Events such as this don’t magically happen.

There’s an army of volunteers working hard behind the scenes for months, before, during and after the day to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible for everyone’s enjoyment, and this is for them!

**THANK YOU**

👉🏼 To the team of Scouts and those supervising them at the industrial state for the Park & Ride 🙌🏼

👉🏼 To the judges for attending and choosing winning wares from the multitude of food and drinks on offer 👍🏼

👉🏼 To the litter picking clean up crew, making sure Alcester stayed as litter free as possible 👏🏼

👉🏼 To those who gave up their time collecting things and making sure they were in the right place at the right time 👌🏼

👉🏼 To the photographers who were out capturing all the memories and the smiles made 📸

👉🏼 To the Hi-Viz heroes who were on hand from as early as 5am on the day, helping vendors set up, manning important points, dealing with enquires, helping with the close down to ensure the High Street reopened on time etc, etc ❤️

👉🏼 And to the committee, who will be enjoying a little quieter time before starting planning for next years event 💪🏼

There are too many people to tag - just know if you were involved in any way whatsoever, this Thank You is for you 🫵🏼

Not all heroes wear capes 🦸‍♀️🦺

❤️ Alcester

🌾🍎 Huge congratulations to Autumn from Alcester Grammar School — winner of the Alcester Food Festival Bake Off! 🧁🏆

Autumn wowed the judges with a beautifully balanced bake made using flour from regeneratively grown LEAF Marque wheat and fruit sourced from the local Alcester Community Fridge — a fantastic celebration of sustainable farming, local produce and community spirit. 💚

The judges praised the bake for its lovely balance of flavour, noting that it was not too sweet, beautifully presented and incredibly appealing, with an understated style that allowed the quality of the ingredients to shine through. 👏

This competition was a brilliant example of young people connecting food, farming, sustainability and creativity — exactly what Countryside Classroom and LEAF are all about. Thanks to local business The Lounge at 26 who sponsored £150 prize for the winning school food department!

Well done to Autumn and to all the students who took part for showcasing such impressive talent and passion for local food! 🌱
