This weekend sees three exciting Caterham Festival events taking place –the Caterham Carnival from 1-5pm on Saturday 9th June at Westway Common, Caterham-on-the-Hill, the Food Festival from 9am-5pm on Sunday 10th June in Croydon Road, Caterham Valley and the 'Waller Pain' cycle ride, also on Sunday, which takes place at 11am in Waller Lane.

For the last two years the Food Festival has been spoiled by wet weather so the organisers are hoping this year's event will be third time lucky! Croydon Road in Caterham Valley will be transformed into a bustling market place. Professional continental market traders from France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Holland, Poland and many more countries will be wearing traditional costumes, selling high quality products including Brittany biscuits, olives, Italian nougat, delectable cheeses, sausages, tartiflette (a delicious cheese and potatoes dish from the Alps), charcuterie, fresh bread, croissants and much more.

Visitors will also be able to choose from a wide range of products including hand bags and leather items, Marseille soaps, lavender, children's toys and pashminas. There really will be something for everyone!

Most of the products on sale will come from each stall holder's region, where they are produced by small organisations such as, family businesses, farms or small factories using traditional methods, maintaining a high standard of quality! All of the traders will also wear their traditional local costumes from 100 years ago, as well as decorating their stall to represent the region of the country they come from.
