The latest news and events from Harts of Stur
THE BIG CHEESE
W
e had so much fun at Sturminster
Newton Cheese Festival last year that
we were always going to come back
for a second helping, sponsoring The Mousetrap
Food Theatre at the prestigious event again, held
on the 10th and 11th September in Stur.
The festival has grown over the last 15 years
into one of the biggest events of its kind in
the south of England, attracting over 50,000
people with its mix of local food, crafts and
entertainment.
We are building on last year’s successes where
we added colour, spice and some laughter with
a packed programme of demos from some of
the region’s top chefs and finest local producers.
Visitors will be entertained and informed by the
likes of Mark Hartstone of La Fosse (see page 28),
Louis Haskell of Plumber Manor, Steve Oxford
of Oxfords Bakery, James Fowler from The
Larder House in Southbourne, Michelle Comins
of Comins Tea House and Rupert Holloway,
founder of Conker Spirit Gin to name but a few.
Expect to learn lots and taste some great food
and drink in their hour long demo slots.
You could win something too. We’ll be giving
away spot prizes (last year this included a Global
knife), running quizzes and competitions and
generally getting the whole family involved.
Outside of The Mousetrap, you’ll find some of
Dorset’s best artisan producers, an arts and
crafts marquee and more incredible cheese than
you can possibly imagine.
And once you’ve seen the festival, do come
and pay us a visit in the shop where we’ll be
running promotions throughout the weekend.
