Rhubarb Festival
Operated by Woottens
Friday 24th February 2012 - 2 days
from only £89

The delicious Wakefield Food Festival promises to be a great event!  You'll find cookery demonstrations with celebrity chefs in the marquee, and the Yorkshire Food & Drink Market in the Cathedral Precinct and Bull Ring.  Of course Wakefield is famous for it's forced rhubarb and we include a visit to one of the unique long low forcing sheds - an eerie place by candlelight and, if you are very quiet, you'll actually here the plants grow!
Wakefield Food, Drink & Rhubarb Festival  Excursions Include

• Wakefield with time to enjoy the Festival
• We visit E.Odroyd and Sons Ltd. for our guided tour of the famous Rhubarb Sheds.  On arrival we learn about the ancient history of rhubarb, it's culinary and medicinal uses.  Then it's into the forcing sheds, where you're sure to be spellbound by the spectacle before you - rhubarb grown in the dark and harvested by candlelight.  Stand quietly, listen and you'll hear the rhubarb growing!  Time to visit the shop for some award winning (you've guessed it!) rhubarb, preserves and recipe books, prior to commencing our homeward journey.  Note:  We recommend warm clothing and footwear for this visit.
