Real Food Festival
Ignore the rather nauseatingly smiley people on the festival website's homepage, this event has been much-hyped by many in the food and restaurant industries and the hunch is it will deliver.
Billing itself as 'pretty much the biggest farmers market ever', and sponsored by Dalyesford Organic and Whole Foods, the Real Food Festival is a smorgasboard of gourmet cottage industries, boutique food producers, workshops, cooking classes and, of course, tastings galore.
Trudie Styler, Giorgio Locatelli and Zac Goldsmith will be taking part in a heated debate on the pros and cons of going organic and there will be a Real Food Theatre where chefs like Jun Tanaka, Shane Osborn and Raymond Blanc will be showing us all how to really do it.
If you haven't got anything better to do it's your chance to go, eat a lot, and get ethical in Earls Court.
