Chris in Liege
Last update: 8.04.19 First posted: 5.04.19 by Chris Woodward in Incredible SpreadableIncredible Edible Todmorden is pleased to announce that we were invited to speak at the Festival Nourrir Liége on the evening of Friday 29th March at the Liége Botanical Gardens.
I travelled over the day before with my wife Andi. The welcome was fantastic and truly Incredible, I E T is held in high regard by all those involved. We stayed in the George-Simenon Youth Hostel within walking distance of the City. I say youth hostel, it was more an upmarket hotel, built on the site of an old monastery. Everyone we met was incredibly welcoming and our hosts Emilie Beaumur the Festival Co-ordinator and Amy
Thiabaut


Similar to ourselves everyone was much involved in making wooden planters and working on existing veg beds, just as we in Todmorden do.
Everyone had lunch of soup and bread seated around the table, much the same as us, but in the sunshine overlooking the rooftops of the city. Once again everyone was so welcoming and inquisitive of Incredible Edible Todmorden. We are indeed famous, with them trying to emulate our work in the streets of Liége.
The final day of the Festival saw myself and Andi meeting up with all those involved during the previous 10 days listening to speeches
culminating in a closing parade of the Festival Nourrir Liége involving up to 5,000 people celebrating in a carnival atmosphere.
