Event

Highcross Leicester Festive Food & Gift Fayre

19th November - 29th December
Highcross Shopping Centre, 5 Shires Lane, Leicester, LE1 4AN

Come along to this winter foodie hotspot where visitors can indulge in tasty treats, sweet bites and gourmet delights from a line-up of local traders and independent food specialists.

With outdoor dining igloos, tables and seating available - and no booking required - shoppers can soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a true taste of Christmas in the city.

Kicking off Highcross’ festive calendar, its first ever Festive Food Fayre will showcase a mix of festive favourites, from traditional German sausages and gourmet burgers, to loaded hot chocolates, warm sugar doughnuts, toasted marshmallows and fudge. Jacket potatoes, loaded nachos and freshly made toasties will also be on offer, as well as German beer and mulled wine, served alongside artisan cheeses at the Fayre’s very own Bavarian-style bar.

Among the local traders taking part is House of Desserts, a small family-run business from Lutterworth, serving hot waffles, dipped cheesecake, crepes and gooey cookie dough.

Festive Yorkshire wraps will also be available, served up by another Lutterworth-based business, offering hearty wraps filled with roast meats, vegetables, gravy and stuffing, as well as pigs in blankets and crispy roast potatoes.
