Woolwich Works celebrates the arrival of summer with the very first modern Beanfeast!

The term "Beanfeast" dates back to 6th July 1773, when King George III arrived at Woolwich by barge and proclaimed an annual holiday after enjoying an open-air feast of beans and bacon. The modern Beanfeast is a unique recreation of the feast, 251 years later, with a food-filled programme curated by food writer Anna Sulan Masing.

A day of talks, discussions, demos and workshops, plus a cookbook shop with book signings and a mini marketplace.
