Ok, so if there’s one thing you really can’t miss – it’s the Urban Farm, which is free to visit on Regent Street. A hub of sustainable ideas and experiences, it comes filled with living walls, farm pods that can be freshly harvested and wonderful fresh produce. That’s not all though, the Urban Farm will host a series of free and bookable events and drop-in experiences. From hands-on micro herb masterclasses, chef-led pesto-making demos and foraging from the on-site farm pods, there will also be educational talks that shed light on building a sustainable food ecosystem (this will be accessible to all ages). Find the full list of opening times here.
From September 18-24 you’ll be able to explore the Future of Food as Regent Street and St James's host 17 different events, 23 participating restaurants and chefs and, at the heart of it all, an Urban Farm (which is open for a full month). The festival aims to inspire local communities and celebrate central London’s diverse culinary landscape through Michelin-starred menus, inspiring experts and hands-on experiences. Most importantly, the Future of Food has partnered with The Felix Project where surplus food waste from the Urban Farm will go to help feed London's most vulnerable people throughout the month (you can also donate to this great organisation here). Can't make it to a ticketed event? There are offers and giveaways across Regent Street and St James's foodie scene, from social media giveaways and special menu cocktails and dishes, to live demos and mini masterclasses led by baristas. Here are a few things you can’t miss at Future of Food this September.
