The ultimate celebration of street food, community and charity is set to cook up a storm again this summer!
Sophie’s Street Feast returns on Sunday, August 30, promising an unmissable day filled with mouth-watering cuisine and vibrant entertainment from delicious local vendors and talented musicians.
Now entering its fourth year, Sophie’s Street Feast has established itself as a must-attend highlight of the local events calendar, drawing more than 3,500 visitors last year.
Since launching, the event has raised over £10,000 for local causes. This year, alongside host partner charity Toybox, it will also support Nutritroops through the 5 On It Foundation.
NutriTroops is a free children’s health and well-being initiative that combines physical activity, nutrition education, and storytelling to help children build healthy habits for life.
The 5 On It Foundation is a community organisation based in Milton Keynes, delivering free activities designed to create positive opportunities for young people using sport, creativity, and mentorship.
Toybox, based in Bletchley, has more than three decades of international experience in positively changing the lives of vulnerable street children and families. Working alongside dedicated and experienced local partners, with a mission to end the global injustice of children living and working on the streets across the world.
Every meal you tuck into at Sophie’s Street Feast will help support the work of these charities.
“I got into sport through monks who came from the Bronx in New York who set up a local food bank in East London, so I experienced first-hand the power of food and community coming together," said Peter Bakare, Olympian, and founder of NutriTroops and 5 On It Foundation, "Sophie’s Street Feast is a brilliant example of how food, community and purpose can create something truly positive."
"We’re proud for NutriTroops and the 5 On It Foundation to be part of an event that not only celebrates local culture, but also supports children and families through fun, active and inclusive experiences," he added, "Through NutriTroops, we want to help children see food, movement and play as something exciting and empowering and we’re excited to bring that energy to such a loved local event.”
The event will once again take place from 11am to 5pm at Milton Keynes Discovery Centre.
