Time for treats!
So much to choose from at our our fabulous Street Food and Artisan goods market… spend the day browsing and imbibing wonderful dishes and take home great produce from our local producers and traders.
Spotted that cheeky pineapple, getting into the act on our logo? Why is it there?
Well, Devizes has a historic connection. In 1769, one Adam Taylor ‘A Gardener near Devizes’ published a treatise on how to grow a pineapple. Reason enough for us to adopt it, but more so when we learned the pineapple is a symbol of hospitality and friendship…
When was the last time you greeted a goat, lunched in a bell chamber, or sipped wine just yards from where the grape grew? Let us surprise you with some new food experiences..
Intimate meals in unusual places, charming afternoon tea, a feast from around the world and wine tasting over a gourmet dinner are just some of the many eating and drinking opportunities during the week.
