Broker backs Newport Food Frenzy

Food fans will be spoilt for choice when it comes to a special event to be held in Newport in September.

The Newport Food Frenzy will take place on Saturday, September 13, from 10am to 4.30pm, with over 50 stalls brimming with food and drink experiences spread around the town.

Organised by Newport (Shropshire) Chamber of Commerce, the event promises a diverse range of food and drink stalls from local producers, to street food and national favourites.

And this year’s event looks set to be bigger and better than ever, with the backing of headline sponsors Brown & Brown Insurance – previously Henshalls.

Mark Freeman from Brown & Brown said: “We are delighted to be supporting such an exciting and dynamic event which involves so many local businesses and organisations.

“It’s part of our commitment to the local community to assist with this kind of initiative and it’s great to be able to give something back as a thank you to our loyal clients and the business community.”

Karen Woodcock, for the organisers, said: “Newport’s food scene will take centre stage with restaurants and cafes offering themed menus, breakfasts and afternoon tea delights, as well as tasty treats from Newport Indoor Market – and there will be entertainment from talented street performers too.

“For the first time ever, the Newport Food Frenzy has its own dedicated page on the www.allaboutnewport.co.uk website so it’s easy for visitors to browse the online listings and decide on which stalls they want to try first!

“Newport’s a dog-friendly town too so feel free to bring your furry companion along, and parking in the town and entry to the event is free so we look forward to welcoming people from all over the local area on the day.”

The stalls will run along St Mary’s Street to the end of the High Street (by The Swan Inn), and up the main High Street to the library island in the centre of the town.
