“For more than 25 years, Meadowhall has been part of the Sheffield community and we’re always keen to get involved with projects that champion local and regional producers. The bespoke stalls will allow shoppers to see and sample first-hand the very best Yorkshire has to offer, whilst the chefs in our pop up cookery theatre will be demonstrating how to make your own culinary creations when you’re back home.”

Sarah Ellerby, from the Little Square Cake Company added: “We’re so looking forward to coming to the Meadowhall Artisan Food and Drink Market.  2016 was marked as being the year where we pushed ourselves to do larger shows and markets and they don’t come much bigger than Meadowhall!”
