Throughout the weekend of 4 and 5 July graze your way through amazing food and drink produced across the North West and the very best street food from further afield.

‘Eat the Atlantic’ Food Festival on Liverpool’s Mann Island will fill the sea air with scrumptious aromas and invites friends and families to discover nature’s larder from both sides of the pond, and from the ocean too.
The first transatlantic crossings were not made by towering ships, but by humble Atlantic Salmon in their search for food and shelter. For millennia, the Atlantic Salmon has swum thousands of miles, back and forth between the UK and North America to feed and to spawn. Find out about the miracle of nature that’s allowed them to survive the epic journey, celebrate the fascinating story of Mersey salmon and best of all – sample some great salmon dishes cooked by talented local chefs.
