Forest City Experiences teaches you the history
of the founding of the Covent Garden Market and
points out some of the more interesting facts that
only a true insider will know. Enjoy the Covent
Garden Market and surrounding area with a wellknown
chef and a friendly culinary expert. Meet at
the Market Square entrance (across from Budweiser
Gardens) and you’ll have a personal introduction to
the Market’s culinary offerings and its passionate
vendors. Eat and drink from a minimum of five
unique spots, which may include an international
foods vendor, cheesemonger, butcher, artisanal
baker, small-batch coffee roaster or chocolatier.
By the end of this progressive tasting experience,
you’ll have sampled a series of offerings that add
up to an authentic expression of Covent Garden’s
culinary scene. This three-hour gastro experience
will end with a cooking class using seasonal and
locally-sourced ingredients, upstairs in the Market
Kitchen. We promise you’ll leave at the end of the
tour satiated and feeling like a local, having learned
about the culinary hot spots in and around the
Market. Available dates are January 4, January 17
and 24. forestcityculinaryexperiences.ca

new experiences to the marketplace in 2020.
These experience partners include a collaboration
