The Wellington Food Town initiative was set up as a five year plan to promote the town as a focus for the area’s fantastic producers, and a wonderful food destination for visitors.
It was launched in December 2006 with a hugely successful one-day food event that attracted an estimated 5,000 people and boosted producers and town centre retailers, with an estimated £100,000 in sales.
The catchment area for food and drink producers takes in much of Somerset and a large chunk of Devon, including Rick Stein Food Heroes and dozens of other award-winners.
Wellington Food Town is organised by Wellington Economic Partnership, Taunton Deane Borough Council and Wellington Town Council, and is supported by Wellington Chamber of Commerce and Trade, Wellington Farmers’ Market, and Somerset Food Links.
The Wellington Food Town Steering Group members are John Cottrell (Chairman), John Pragnell, Dave Mitton, Louisa Sheppy, Ben Fox, Fred Domellof, Graeme Wallace and Maggie Norvell.
