Waitrose Summer Festivals

BROADENING TASTE HORIZONS

Festivals are warm, vibrant and relaxed. Perfect for sampling new sights, sounds … and tastes. Our pop-up experiences for Waitrose served up a whole world of flavours. Hungry festival-goers shared, sipped and savoured … taking inspiration and recipes home to their BBQs, picnics, families and friends.
