This year’s Cultural Kitchen, part of the Crawley Festival, will be cooking with gas thanks to a £2,250 grant from Crawley Borough Council.

The event, now in its seventh year, showcases culinary delights with cookery demonstrations, food tastings, recipes and traditional entertainment from several Crawley communities, including Caribbean, Polish, Brazilian, African and Tamil.

The Cultural Kitchen is part of the Mainstage event and takes place in Memorial Gardens this Saturday (27 June) from 12 noon-4pm.

Mainstage is the finale event for the Crawley Festival which features live performances all day and many activities and workshops to try.

All of this is free and makes a great family day out. Visit www.crawleyfestival.co.uk for more information.
