Since 2017, the festival has attracted thousands of people to celebrate food and drink, sourced from one of the 50 locally based traders involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will also be an artisan market, offering people the opportunity to exhibit their artistic creations and talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival has just been awarded a music fund from the Arts Council England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noemi Antonelli, Managing Director at Swans Events, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to have been awarded the grassroots music funding from Arts Council England and are excited to offer young people and emerging talent a platform at the festival, as well as celebrating our proud city\u2019s heritage and diverse cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of vendors returning this year, including Tamarind Kitchen<\/a>, Paradiso<\/a>, V or V Grill House<\/a>, Doughboy<\/a>, Scrumptious by Lucy<\/a> and Locksley Distilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yee, from Yee Kwan, said she is proud to be a part of the festival as they have been a \u201cpart of it from the beginning\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Martin Smith, Chair of the Economic Development and Skills Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: \u201cSheffield has so much to offer in the way of great food, places to eat and drink. The city has recently been recognised for this, a good deal of which is down to the success of the Sheffield Food Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs well as attracting thousands of visitors, the event is a fantastic opportunity for local traders to sell their produce and it\u2019s great to see these independent businesses come together and be part of such a dynamic and popular date in our city\u2019s event programme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
