The Foodies Festival is coming to Oxford South Parks from 24 to 26 August, and University staff can enjoy free admission.

The festival features local chefs, such as Michelin-starred Gary Jones of Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and Michael North of The Nut Tree.

You can also take part in food and drink masterclasses, including wine and chocolate pairing, while food writer Sophie Grigson will run a children's cookery theatre, offering classes for budding young chefs. New features this year include the Cake & Bake Theatre and the Chocolate Theatre.

University staff can benefit from free admission by showing their University Card at the entrance to the festival. Accompanied children under the age of 12 can also enjoy free admission.

Please be aware that free admission applies to University staff members only. Friends and family will be charged at the standard day rate, which is £12 for adults and £10 for concessions.
