Shoppers will be in for a tasty treat at St. Enoch Centre this weekend (8-9 October) with a feast of activities on the menu at its food festival celebrations including a special visit from 2014 MasterChef winner Jamie Scott.

The culinary champion will be showcasing his skills with a series of cookery demonstrations and will be joined by two of Glasgow’s renowned restauranteurs in the kitchen over the two-day event including Jacqueline O’Donnell on Saturday and John Quigley on Sunday, who will be there hosting the extravaganza.

The whole family will be treated to a gastronomic experience with lots of foodie festivities planned over the two days including cooking demonstrations from some of the Centre’s restaurants such as Kimbles and Muffin Break as well as a number of giveaways, samples and offers from some of the centre’s retailers. There will also be free fruit and vegetables available each day from Tesco.

Wee ones will also be able to roll up their sleeves and get in on the action with a special Kids Café offering a series of cookery workshops and displays each day from 11am-5pm. Thorntons and Millies Cookies will also be serving up a slice of fun with chocolate and cookie decorating classes.

Hattie and Hamley Bear will be on hand to keep children entertained with a series of arts, crafts, competitions and games including Bean Boozled.

Shoppers can help save the environment – and their pennies – by visiting Love Food Hate Waste, which will be providing tips on reducing food waste at home and beehive suppliers Plan Bee will be creating a buzz with their bee-related products including honey, honey beer and beeswax candles.

St. Enoch Centre is home to one of the largest food courts in Scotland featuring a variety of restaurants including Pizza Hut, Ed’s Easy Diner, Muffin Break, D’doce and Kimbles.

Anne Ledgerwood, general manager of St. Enoch Centre, said: “Relaxing over a coffee or enjoying a meal with friends is an increasingly important part of the shopping experience. What better way to celebrate this and to showcase the variety of dining options available at St. Enoch than with a festival of food that the whole family can enjoy.”

St. Enoch Centre’s Food FeST runs from 8-9th October with main stage events on from 12-4pm. For more information, please visit www.st-enoch.com
