Watch all the highlights from day one of the Liverpool Food & Drink Spring Festival 2018

The sun shone down on Sefton Park as thousands tucked into delicious food & drink on day one of the festival.

We arrived hungry and went home with the biggest smiles having sampled the finest food from all four corners of the globe, from producers right here in the north west. Alongside that we enjoyed many a tipple in the Gin Garden and got a taste for the Caribbean with cocktails served in pineapples, and much more.

The kids had a ball cheering on the sheep show, enjoying donkey rides and petting all manner of exotic animals, before whizzing down the helter-skelter and tucking into sweet treats galore. We restored out equilibrium with a little yoga, healthy snacks and we supported local artisans selling beautiful artwork, foodstuff and trinkets from far and wide.

We can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow, who’s coming?

Gates reopen at 10:30am on Sunday 29th April 2018 for day two and you can get your tickets in advance (and save a few pennies too) online at www.springliverpoolfoodanddrinkfestival.co.uk and don’t forget to follow @LivFoodDrink on Twitter for regular updates on what’s on.
