Global at Christchurch Food Festival 2017

food-fest-header

We’re excited to be the design and print sponsor of the Christchurch Food Festival once again for 2017. We first worked with Christchurch Food Festival in 2015. We refreshed the existing branding with designs that were inspired by some well known landmarks in Christchurch, such as The Priory and the river – all with a foodie element of course.

The Food Festival, taking place this year on 6th and 7th May, has become a key event in Christchurch’s calendar, attracting vital tourism to the town and helps to pump money into the local economy. Since the launch it has become an exciting and fast-growing culinary and business-led event, bringing the likes of celebrity chefs Lesley Waters, James Martin and Levi Roots to the festival.
