DISABILITY charity Accuro are delighted to announce the return of the Harlow Food and Drink Festival on Saturday 13th September co-hosted by the Redchurch Brewery and Stort Valley Gifting. This year the event is sponsored by local company Genmar IT (UK) Ltd. Managing Director James Moore says: “Genmar is excited to be sponsoring the Harlow Food and Drink Festival 2025 and are proud to support events that bring the community together. We hope to see you there!”

The festival will showcase a delicious array of artisan food and drink from local producers. Each producer will have product exclusivity, ensuring there is a variety of produce to try.

Accuro are pleased to confirm that popular regulars Cupcake Daisy, Epping Forest Honey and Je t’aime Chocolate will be attending alongside many new suppliers to the event including Caine’s Pizza Limited, The Grazeful Girls Essex, What Could Dough Wrong? and Fruit Shack Blends. As always, the Redchurch Brewery will provide their Tap Room Bar and Stort Valley Gifting will bring their delicious selection of local produce.

New for this year are a select choice of craft and gift stalls located in the Tap Room, including vinyl records, candles, and flowers. We will have live music from the fabulous Miss Lauren Martini to enjoy throughout the afternoon.

Megan Salisbury from Redchurch Brewery says: “Redchurch Brewery is proud to announce our participation in this year’s Harlow Food & Drink Festival, with support from community-minded organisation Accuro. As part of the festival, we’re teaming up with Accuro to give back to a local charity, helping ensure that the event not only brings great food and drink to our community but also real impact. We love working with Accuro. They make it easy to support a local cause while also bringing new people into the brewery. It’s good for the community, and it’s great for local businesses.”

Emma Robson from Stort Valley Gifting says: “We are delighted to, once again, be working with Accuro on the third annual Harlow Food and Drink Festival. The event is a highlight of our calendar and grows annually. It not only raises vital funds for Accuro, enabling them to do their valuable work in our community, but also helps local producers shout about what an incredible range of food and drink is produced in our region.  From oils and marinades to Florentines, even a local pasta, the event encompasses a wide variety of different cuisines.”

The event will take place between 12-4pm at Redchurch Brewery, Harlow. There is a suggested charitable donation of £2 per person on entry to the festival, as well as a raffle on the day. To find out more about this event, please visit:www.accuro.org.uk/events/
