Even more are expected for Taste of Grampian 2024 as organisers look to grow the foodie celebration.

‘Foodie family fun’: What to expect at Taste of Grampian 2024

In 2023, visitors were treated to celebrity chef cooking demos, live music, workshops, masterclasses from local chefs, drinks tastings, and a children’s zone, to name a few things.

James Martin, who is best known for hosting his ITV cookery show, and self titled queen of potatoes and TikTok sensation Poppy O’Toole attended.

Plus, a stellar line-up of more than 150 exhibitors (including street food trucks) showcased their fare.

For 2024, there will be a strong line-up of Scottish and local chefs with fantastic tasting experiences for customers once again.

A whole host of crafters and food and drink producers will be selling their products – ranging from artisan delicacies, fresh food and baking to drinks – and sharing their brand stories, too.
