Event Ideas - 'A Moveable Feast'

An event held at The Laguna Playhouse in California which held an event called the 'moveable feast' structuring it around acts - a course in a different place like a food trail but 'feast-like'. I thought this could be an interesting idea if combined with encouraging local restaurants to offer one locally produced a dish. Could provoke some good discussions about food and about people's perception of the term local.

The Continuous Picnic

The continuous London picnic - to engage Londener's in a 'dialogue about urban food production'. An area of London was turned into a continuous picnic for a day. An 'inverted market' was one event held as well as 'community composting' and lots of fresh food was provided. See link for more info : http://continuouspicnic.blogspot.com/

If you can eat London, why not eat Sheffield?

'Eat London' was a physical food map of central London, curated by LIFT, who produce interactive cultural experiences which enable people to make meaningful connections on a local, national and international level. Each grid square was made by a marginal community group with food specific to their cultural and ethnic background. The squares were then assembled in Trafalgar Square on Saturday April 27th 2007 to create a food map of London. Then it was eaten! Roads were made of gingerbread, the gherkin from grapes, buildings from cake, Houses of Parliament from cucumber sandwiches, the London Eye from two vertical pizzas. For more photos click here.
