The British Biscuit Festival

We love a festival in the UK. Music, food, art you name it, we do it and do it well. As have mentioned I have some extra time on my hands, so whilst I was leisurely reading The Guardian today I came across a magical report. Proudly announcing The British Biscuit Festival - of course. Presented by The Brunswick Centre near Russell Square, it's the UK’s first festival celebrating the nation’s much loved treat!

Over the course of three days the fun focuses on our love of - biscuits.  Fans from across London (and indeed the UK) can make the pilgrimage to indulge in everything related to our most iconic British snack.

There's lots of events taking place: 

 

Build–a–Biscuit Workshops: For those who yearn for more than a digestive to dunk in their tea. Help will be on hand from The Cake Conjurer for those who need a bit of inspiration on how to create the perfect biscuit. 

The Terrific Biscuit Tin Tournament: Who will be crowned the 2012 Biscuit Champion? For those who have mastered the art of eating a biscuit without licking away the crumbs, dunking cookies in tea without them going soggy or reciting a sonnet with a mouth full of digestives this competition is a must.

Pop up vintage installations, Tea Dance and Farmers Market (Saturday only), Live band (Sunday only) or you can simply enjoy a cuppa and a biscuit - with the on site agony aunt Dai Gestive.

There's lots of other stalls and workshops: Crafternoon, Biscuit Science, Spin Cookie Art, Round the World Biscuits, Street Food Biscuits, Tea Liquers, Fete Games..
