Bowhouse in the East Neuk of Fife has announced that, for the first time since they launched, they’ll be extending their hotly anticipated Monthly Market Weekends to include February.
On the 8th and 9th of February, Bowhouse will be collaborating with the area’s regional food group, Food From Fife, to welcome an array of top, artisan, Scottish food and drink producers to their food and drinks hub on the Balcaskie Estate. A programme of workshops, demonstrations and activities will complement the market. Some of the Food from Fife producers taking part include Nakey Bakey, Kingsbarns Distillery, Relish It, Sunshine Kitchen and Fido Treats.
Local makers based on the estate will be hosting workshops throughout the weekend, including Eleanor Meredith who will be running bowl pottery classes for adults and a clay crafting ‘messy table’ for children. Award-winning mixologist Nico Berasain will be hosting food-inspired cocktail demonstrations on the Saturday, and chef Chris Nurse will be presenting cooking demonstrations on the Sunday.
Some other Bowhouse Market Weekend favourites attending in February include East Coast Cured, Rola Mòr and Wee COOK, with street food provided by Butchery at Bowhouse BBQ, The Tuskers and Screaming Peacock.
Based on Balcaskie Estate, Bowhouse has been developed as a centre for food and drink. Known for its monthly market weekends, it is home to a community of some of Scotland’s best food and drink producers: from brewers and butchers to millers, bakers and fermenters.
