Documentary: One idea for Helen

"Farming again in focus at Witney Food Festival"

This story was gathered from the NFU website. 

Key points to the story:

• Takes place in St Mary's Church, Witney OX28 4AW

• "Witney's 4th Festival of Food and Drink returns to Oxfordshire town on May 21"- key word here is "returns"could give revenue for questions about what the previous festivals were like. It is also just the 4th time running which means it is fairly new. Could as questions to the creators about what their plans are for future festivals.

•  "Seventy stalls holders offering high quality, artisan food and drink will be poised to share their goods, knowledge and enthusiasm" - Plenty opportunity to interview people partaking in the festival. Could gather a variety of information on how the stalls are run and the preparation that is needed to make the stalls work. 

• "Award winning arable farmer James Price will be helping them find out where our food comes from" - Gives us room to get information on where the food comes from and how it is made. 

• "Leading farm themed activities such as  milking a 'cow' and making butter" - Great for coverage and can also allow us to put together footage of how the process is done, creating an educational approach for the viewers in some ways. 

The festival has received some great recognition from David Cameron who it the MP for Witney and also the festival Patron, TV presenter and comedian Alexander Armstrong who is also passionate and supports the festival.

Overall there are plenty of elements to explore here as it is a family oriented event with lots of participants from all over the country. It can give a great opportunity to build a story and it is something that could be considered.
