Spring Tide Festival 2012
Saturday 19 May & Sunday 20 May 2012
10am - 4pm
All Trade Stall spaces are fully booked - thank you to the traders for supporting the festival.
Last year we had amazing sunshine, this year we may see a bit of 'liquid-sunshine' & 'sea-spray' but don't let that put you off, the marquee is HUGE!!
Welcome to Spring Tide 2012!
West Dorset’s Jurassic Food Festival is back for its third fantastic year and we want YOU to be part of it.
As the details of the 2012 festival start to take shape, we will be updating the Spring Tide website, so make sure you bookmark this page and come back again soon to find out what’s being planned.
If you love food you've come to the right place. Spring Tide is all about buying and tasting great local food and drink, meeting the producers, as well as seeing what fantastic local arts and crafts are made right here on your doorstep.

So expect to find everything on the shopping list from spring veg, fresh fish, local meat, artisan bread, cheeses plus a selection of locally made wines, beers and cider. We aim to connect you to the most extraordinary and delicious food experiences you will find anywhere.
You can also meet some of the organisations supporting the local food networks and celebrating all that’s great about being outdoors in West Dorset.
If staying at home is the new ‘going away’ and the trend for holidaying in Britain is set to continue, then it looks like Dorset will continue to attract more people than ever, not least to enjoy the outstanding local food and drink that we can offer here.
Local food and concerns about sustainability really do matter to people who live and work in West Dorset and the success of Spring Tide demonstrates that people here genuinely do care about where their food comes from and what they eat and drink. This is not just a trend or a fad: it is a fundamental shift in how consumers and food lovers alike choose to shop, eat and drink. Long may it continue!
Spring Tide is almost entirely volunteer-run. We won‘t get the biggest ‘names’, but it’s still one of the friendliest and most enjoyable food festivals around.
So join us for a weekend of fantastic foodie fun…we look forward to welcoming you to Spring Tide 2012
