Surrey Fusion Festival 2013: Food
bySurrey’s annual Fusion Festival is coming up on Saturday and Sunday in Holland Park and I wanted to promote one of our favourite elements of this free multicultural celebration: Food! With dozens of pavilions, each representing a country, the selection of fried, boiled, charcoal-grilled, and slow-roasted goodies is seemingly endless.

The Flavours of Surrey exhibition area, that celebrates food and agriculture in Surrey, will also feature special guests and workshops:
