We are delighted to announce that Bird & Wild will be featuring with a Cafe at the Go Organic Show in Battersea Park on 8-9 September 2018.

ALL PROFITS FROM THE SHOW WILL BE DONATED TO THE RSPB CHARITY!

Taking place on 8-9 September, Battersea Park will be transformed into a vibrant celebration of the very best in organic, sustainability and healthy lifestyles.  The festival will feature a 100-stall organic marketplace, organic beer festival, a raft of big-name and up and coming bands, celebrities, talks, organic kitchen demos, a children’s farm, circus entertainment, free fun fair rides and much more.

With capacity set at 15,000 attendees for its launch event, organiser Diversified Communications UK is urging prospective attendees to reserve their tickets well advance.

The eclectic line-up already includes: The Hoosiers and The Magic Numbers on the main stage; television personalities Jonathan Dimbleby, Simon King, and Janey Lee Grace; Helen Browning OBE, chief executive of the Soil Association; Chris Collins, head of horticulture for Garden Organic; environmental campaigner Natalie Fee; children’s entertainers Mr Bloom and Andy Day; plus some of the country’s most exciting chefs will be creating tasty dishes to suit every palate (and conscience) in the Organic Kitchen.

Among the chefs now confirmed are: Gelf Alderson, executive chef at River Cottage and an early pioneer of the Farm to Fork philosophy; Emily Watkins, head chef of The Kingham Plough; eco restauranteur Arthur Potts-Dawson; leading food writer and chef Rosie Birkett; and Chetna Makan, Great British Bake Off contestant and author of The Cardamom Trail.

“The Go Organic Festival brings a unique opportunity to share ‘all things organic’ with a wide group of people in a fun, festival setting,” says Chetna Makan.

“Organic is more relevant than ever, appealing to everyone from foodies to families, and all those who are looking for food, as it should be, and the benefits that organic brings.  I’m delighted to be part of the GO! Organic Festival as a food writer and really looking forward to cooking at the festival and enjoying this festival with my family,” she says.

“I’m so excited to be part of this innovative event, I love the fact that it’s a festival which will combine all the best bits of the organic lifestyle with fun for all the family and great music,” agrees Janey Lee Grace, “whether you are someone who is always looking for organic options or you just want a fabulous day out, there will be something for you!”

Ruth Ayahudin, GO! Organic Festival’s marketing manager, explains: “At its heart, GO! Organic Festival is about people coming together to have fun and share their love of all things organic.  It’s about seeing, sampling, tasting, experiencing, and discovering what’s out there, what’s new.  Organic is not a niche market any longer – it’s not just the preserve of a certain type of consumer – it’s for everyone.

“The difference between this and so many other events is not just the high quality of the eclectic programme but also the fact that we are celebrating and promoting something, which is really important to so many of us.  We have some amazing supporters and, as we want the event to be a great day out, which is accessible to everyone, we have priced it very competitively.”
