It’s a decade since the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the golden fortnight of the London Olympics brought the UK together in celebration.
Ten years on and the nation is readying itself to party again this summer as we mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. In Tynemouth a smaller, but for good food lovers no less important anniversary, is set to be observed this spring.
May 7-8 will mark 10 years since the first Tynemouth Food Festival cooked up a storm in the coastal village. Few would probably have predicted it would outlast its first year. Yet against the odds it can now claim to be one of the North East’s longest running and undeniably popular food festivals.
