The line up for our huge celebration of British manufacturing and farming is already looking fantastic. In fact we already have the same number of exhibitors signed up to join us as last year… and we still have 23 weeks before the big day. Our plan, to double the number of workshops and visitors to the event, is very much on target.
The event will still be not for profit and supporting a charitable cause (an exciting announcement about this will be made soon) but our main aim is to get the whole of the UK to buy British!
We are proud to say that the following companies will be joining us as workshops in 2014.
- MSE – a British manufacturer of centrifuges based in the London area.
- Farrington’s Mellow Yellow – Cold pressed rapeseed oil is grown and produced on a family farm in Northamptonshire
- Granby’s – The freshest new soft drinks brand.

P.S. Businesses wanting to get involved in this nationally focused event need to get in touch quickly as we will sell out this year.
read about you in This England – you are doing a fantastic job Here in the USA it’s hard to find anything made here. Have a difficult time finding dog treats that are not made in China! I was born and raised in Hayes, Kent and know Westerham well – last year on a visit “home” had a delightful day at Chartwell.
Keep up the good work. Edna
