To celebrate the UK’s superb range of gins, we’re bringing a brand new Gin Alley to Foodies Festival this Christmas. Infused with natural botanicals, rose, elderflower or casked in whisky, there’s plenty to sample from exhibitors and from our new daily Christmas Gin Cocktail Masterclasses. ‘Tis the season… the UK’s top wine, beer and champagne experts will teach visitors how to match their tipple with food, inspired by the best flavours and tastes of Christmas.
Learn from the UK’s top experts, including Charles Metcalfe who will be presenting the ‘Pleasures of Port’, Rioja Wines & Wines from the Rhone Valley and Diana Thompson who will be presenting Champagne tasting in the Drinks Theatre.
Taste flavours of the world at the Street Food Avenue with a culinary trip taking you from Japan to Thailand, Malaysia, Argentina, India, Mexico, Africa and more. With everything from Crème Brulee campervans to sushi burritos and paella, we challenge you not to be lured in by the sensory overload of the Street Food Avenue.

Take the kids along to the Elf Cookery School where they can bake and decorate snowballs, gingerbread men, cookies and cupcakes to leave out for Santa. Take a break from the Champagne Ski Bar and enjoy the post-feasting fun by the Live Music Stage, with carols and Scotland’s best unsigned bands bringing the festive spirit throughout the day.
