If cooking displays, tasting sessions and food stalls – many with a Slow Food angle – are your thing you should head to the BBC’s Summer Good Food Showtaking place from 16 to 20 June in Birmingham.
Slow Life followers will particularly enjoy the Slow Food’s Taste Workshops- arranged by Slow Food UK – which are a great opportunity to taste food from some of the best small producers in the UK. Conforming to the principles of Slow Food, the food from all participating producers is quantifiably good, clean and fair.
By taking part in one of these intimate sessions, visitors can taste deliciously simple ingredients and hear the story of the people who produce it.The workshops give slow foodies a chance to experience the taste of food and drink being reared, grown or brewed by some of the UK’s best small producers with love and care and generally using traditional methods.
During each of the workshops Slow Food producers will explain areas of British food heritage and how it reflects in the flavour and quality of what we eat.
Equally interesting is the Grow Your Own Area where you can pick up top tips and advice from the experts from the BBC TV programme Gardeners’ World and the Royal Horticultural Society. The area is set to be the ultimate destination for anyone who craves tips on how to live the good life and learn about what can be achieved with even the smallest of plots.

Tickets for any one day are £21 and include entry to Gardener’s World Life, which takes place at the same time.
