The Weekly Times - TWT - 15th August 2018

10 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 15 August, 2018
Cork and Fork Festival will be a classic
Putney’s Kissing Point Park on the beautiful
foreshore of the Parramatta River will be the
place to be this Sunday for the Cork and Fork
Festival.
City of Ryde Mayor, Clr Jerome Laxale, encouraged all
residents to get down to Kissing Point Park on Sunday.
“The Cork and Fork Festival allows the community to
come together at one of most picturesque spots in the
City of Ryde to enjoy some great culinary treats and entertainment.
“I hope to see you all there,” Clr Laxale said.
Among the stars of this year’s event is acoustic musician
and singer/song writer Jazzy Myers who told The
Weekly Times she is thrilled to return to Ryde, where she
began her career.
“I’m very excited because I live around here and lots of
my friends will come along to watch me,” she said.
There promises to be something for everyone with
quality food, world class wine and craft beer, terrific local
entertainment and free activities for the kids available
throughout the day.
A highlight on the day will be a cooking demonstration
from the My Kitchen Rules stars Josh and Nic.
These two brothers will be showcasing their culinary
skills with some classic Italian influence for the crowds
to enjoy.
A great line up of stalls and food trucks will also be present
throughout the day selling mouth-watering gourmet
food, internationally recognised craft beer and wine from
some of the leading Australian vineyards.
Pick up your $5 branded Cork and Fork wine glass from
the ticket stalls at the event to enjoy free wine tastings or
to purchase a glass of wine.
Visitors will also receive a re-usable wine glass to use
again and is dishwasher safe.
The food that will be on offer includes Waroo lamb direct
from the farm, freshly shucked oysters as well as delicious
cheese from Hunter Belle Dairy.
Renowned craft breweries Riverside Brewery, Nomad
Brewing Company and Bilpin Cider will all be selling their
tasty craft brews, while there will also be more than a
dozen wineries from around NSW offering some of their
latest vintages.
A great line-up of local musicians will also be performing
throughout the day to keep everyone entertained.
Now in its second year, this year’s Cork and Fork Festival
promises to be bigger and better with a larger event
site to cater for the growing event.
The festival will run between 11am to 4pm.
All festival-goers are encouraged to use public transport
where possible as there is only very limited parking at the
venue.
The City of Ryde will also have a shuttle bus operating
every 15 minutes between Meadowbank station, Putney
shops and Kissing Point Park.
As single use plastic water bottles are no longer sold at
City of Ryde events, festival-goers are reminded to bring
their own water bottle with refills available on the day at
Sydney Water stations located throughout the venue.
