Bridport Food Matters is here again this year with more delicious refreshments and refreshing conversations.

In BFM’s Big Tea Tent sponsored by Oxford’s Bakery, Bridport, we have..

Peas in a Podcast – set up and run by the brilliant team at Jurassic Coast Media. Our podcast is live all day!

A talented array of interviewers will be having relaxed and lively conversations with some of Bridport’s fantastic food producers, suppliers, and experts— chatting about the obstacles they face, what they love most about what they do, why coming together as a community matters, and their hopes and visions for the future. Grab a pillow or a chair and listen in.
