Stalls Overview
The Witney Festival of Food and Drink, or WFOFAD as it is fondly known, is an annual charitable event showcasing the best of local artisan food and drink producers. WFOFAD returns on Saturday 17th May 2025 running from 10:00am to 5:00pm. 60+ stalls, street food, live music, family activities, local group displays, and a festival bar & café means a fun day out for some 4,000 food lovers and all the family!
A large fun fair takes place the same day, next door on The Leys, and many fair goers spontaneously drop into WFOFAD as well.
Who can book a stall?
Small artisan companies often find it hard to get a platform for their products. Here at WFOFAD we try hard to provide one and we are keen to host any small local independent producer or retailer of food and drink.
We also host organisations offering sports & leisure activities; and charities promoting a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet.
Types of stall
The event is open to any small local independent producer of food and drink. There are three categories of stallholder:
- PRODUCE STALLS selling preserved or ‘cold’ produce such as bread, cakes, spices, meats, and vegetables.
- HOT, CHILLED or FROZEN FOOD STALLS selling hot or chilled items such as paella, pizza, or ice cream.
- INFORMATION STALLS promoting a healthy lifestyle and charity stands
Where are stalls located?
Stalls are located
- inside the church or
- outside in the church grounds
- as part of a dedicated Food Court for hot food stalls
- or on Church Green near the Festival Arena
Cost of a Stall
There are two price bands:
- Produce and information stalls: £20 per metre. Minimum stall size: 2 metres
- Hot or frozen food stalls: £25 per metre. Minimum stall size: 2 metres
Power & Sockets
- We can provide domestic power sockets to power display lights at a cost of £20 for a single socket and £40 for a double socket. Note each socket cannot draw more than 5 amps as this can cause power outages and pose a fire risk
- For stalls selling hot chilled or frozen food and needing more power, 16 and 32 amp commando sockets are available. Pricing is based on estimated power usage.
