| The
Fairford & Lechlade Food & Drink Festival was the brainchild of
the Fairford & Lechlade Business Club way back in October 2009. Its
aim was to promote local businesses, attract more visitors to the towns
and encourage them to spend more to increase the local economy.
The
2010 festival was a great success - far better than the organisers could
have hoped for. 2011 looks set to be even better!
