Food & Drink Festival at Papple

A two-day celebration of East Lothian food and drink at Papple Steading

Set against the backdrop of Papple Steading, the Food & Drink Festival showcases the exceptional quality and diversity of East Lothian’s food and drink producers. Alongside artisan producers, tastings and live demonstrations, visitors can book a programme of expert-led masterclasses exploring everything from cheese and wine pairing to sourdough baking with Company Bakery, whisky and chocolate tasting, and botanical tea blending with Dr Sally Gouldstone.

The festival opens with a public market day featuring local artisan producers, tastings and demonstrations, offering visitors the opportunity to meet makers, discover regional specialities and explore the stories behind the products. The second day focuses on connecting producers with buyers and tourism businesses, helping to strengthen the region’s growing food and drink reputation.
