Great British food festival, East Yorkshire please log in to view this image Burton Constable Hall. Photograph: Andy Medcalf/Alamy The Great British food festival has a new venue for 2022: Burton Constable, an Elizabethan country house near Hull. As well as street food, market traders, bars and chef demos, there will be some unusual features. The challenge stage will host Man v Food-style contests – sausage-scoffing or chilli-chomping, say – and a Cake Off. There’ll also be a barbecue stage, kids’ cooking classes and foraging walks around the grounds. A different live act will perform on the hour, and for children there’ll be a mini zoo, bouncy castle, circus skills workshops and wacky races. 14 and 15 May, from £10.80, other venues throughout the summer, greatbritishfoodfestival.com
I’m a little confused about this. On Twitter loads of people saying they aren’t going because it is a rebranded version of the planned Festival of Brexit pushed by the Conservatives. Ignoring for a moment whether that is a reason not to go, or to be even keener to go, I can’t see anything explaining the link people seem to be suggesting. It is Govt funded, but it’s also funded by Scotland and Wales too…not exactly hotbeds of Tory Brexit fervency. Am I missing something?
No idea. I'd just assume twitter's full of bullshit, but it wouldn't affect my decision in any event. If I liked the look of the show I'd go, if I didn't, I wouldn't.
Ah…it is the artist formally known as the Festival of GB & NI (it was Mogg who called called it the Festival of Brexit) which was then changed to what it is now. As OLM says it’s a Martin Green thing. Cost £120m (!!!) so might as well have a look at it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_of_Brexit
So about £50 k to manage multi million investment in the City , can’t see us getting much quality for that wage. Would you be responsible for a minimum £19 m spend for that money ? . Yes it’s a good wage here but not enough I fear to get what we might want for these projects I suppose the council people responsible don’t want to pay anywhere near their over inflated salaries.
Check out HDM it’s to ‘ manage ‘ some of the new projects in the city inc Albion St etc assuming I’ve read it right
A new job to manage flagship projects in the city centre is being advertised by Hull City Council. The post comes with a full-time salary of between £48,181 and £51,787. It follows the recent award of a £19.5m grant to Hull from the government's Levelling Up Fund. The grant will cover three council-led initiatives inthe city centre taking shape over the next few years. They include the Albion Square development, ongoing regeneration work in Whitefriargate and a separate new grant scheme to help businesses and property owners to bring unused floorspace back into use.
Drunken memories of staggering to Oasis Wine Bar and Institute across Romeos car park then back to town in the 80's.
