Organised by Olney Chamber of Trade and sponsored by David Coles Architects, the fourth annual BOFF will take over Olney market place and feature a range of local food and drink provided by local producers for you to choose from, which will be available from 12 noon until 10pm (last orders 9.30pm).
This year, thereʼs no need to buy tickets in advance - simply buy your delicious food and drinks direct from the stallholders. Everything will be under cover, so you can sit back and enjoy the entertainment, whatever the weather!
This year itʼll appeal to the whole family more than ever. Kids meals will be available and thereʼll be lots of things for the children to do. For the adults, as well as food will be available from noon until late, thereʼll be wine and beer tasting, and live music.
You can also try your hand at the first ever “Great Olney Bake Off” baking competition! There are a number of categories and entries will be tasted by a panel of judges on the afternoon of the festival.
