Celebrating the Success of ASHFOOD! 24: A Heartfelt Thank You to All!
Wow, what an incredible weekend! This summer, Elwick Place truly came alive with the return of the ASHFOOD! Festival, and we are absolutely thrilled to share that it was a record-breaking event. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank each and every one of you who joined us and made this festival such a fantastic success.

From the moment the festival kicked off, Elwick Place was buzzing with excitement. We were delighted to see so many smiling faces enjoying the best food and drink Kent has to offer. It was truly magical to witness the incredible performances by local talents like Kelly Bourne, Lucy May Walker, The Rec, and Whiskey and Wine. Your energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and you created an unforgettable atmosphere.

The weekend was filled with outstanding dance and vocal performances from Liv 2 Dance, Kirsty Marie Dance School, and the talented students from Towers Performing Arts. DJ Joe Gannon kept the party going strong, and it was wonderful to see everyone dancing, singing, and soaking up the festive spirit. Whether you were busting moves on the dance floor or relaxing in one of our multicoloured deck chairs, your joy made the event truly special.

Our vendors were blown away by your support, with many of them selling out their delicious offerings. From the mouthwatering cocktails at the Hide Bar and Silent Pools Gin to the fine wines from Kentish Nine Oaks Vineyard and Wine Garden of England, every bite and sip was a testament to the rich flavors of our region. Local favorites like Il Pakkero’s pizza, Jay’s Soul Food’s authentic curry, and sweet treats from Simply Ice Cream Elles Bakery and Abi’s Cakes and a caffeine fix from Caffeine & Fizz added even more delight to the day. And let’s not forget the fun activities from our Elwick residents—Matches Sports Bar’s spinning wheel, The Ashford Cinema’s new menu tasters, and Virtual Recreation’s novelty-shaped candy floss kept everyone entertained!

We are beyond grateful for the incredible turnout and the overwhelming support from our community. ASHFOOD! has truly solidified its place as a must-visit event for food and entertainment lovers. We are already looking forward to next year and can’t wait to bring even more excitement and deliciousness to Elwick Place.
