An exciting new event is coming to Thame!

Taste of Thame is a new event that will celebrate the amazing food and drink businesses on our doorstep in Thame, at the same time encouraging visitors to explore venues in the town centre and learn more about what they have to offer. This year the event will be held on 28 May 2022 from 10.00am – 4.00pm. Although the theme of the event is food and drink, you DO NOT need to be a food or drink business to take part. Please note that this is NOT going to replace the previous Thame Food Festival; it will be a very different event. Instead of closing the town centre and having lots of outdoor pop-up stalls, we will be encouraging participants to explore the venues already in the town. On visiting these venues, they will both discover what they have to offer, and where relevant, meet producers who are being showcased within venues on this day. Alongside this there will be competitions, a ‘Buttermarket Banquet’ (outdoor seating in the Buttermarket that people can use to join together and eat, with a ‘menu’ of town-wide food options and live music), a street food market around the Town Hall, and a raffle raising money for Thame Foodbank.

Please apply through the Taste of Thame website and you will have until Monday 7 March to submit your application to take part. So, whether you are a venue or a local producer, please do apply. You can find out more on the website, but if you have any questions please email becky.reid@thametowncouncil.gov.uk, or go ahead and complete the application form and someone will be in contact with you.
