Purple Cress will be particpating in Corfe Fest 2009.  This is an event held annually in Corfe Castle, Dorset and is in it’s 3rd year.   Held from Friday June 12th to Sunday 14th of June.

We are catering on the Friday in the grounds of the Royal British Legion.  Any one is welcome to enjoy the BBQ we are putting on and we believe we are going to accompany a band which will perform from early evening.

On the Sunday we will have a stall set up in the Corfe sports field as part of their Crafts and Produce day.  We are still confirming our set but will be offering products such as Mini Chocolate Brownies, Shortbread, Savoury Quiches, Strawberries and Cream, Scones and Sparkling Elderflower.  All of this is of course homemade.

There will be something for every on to enjoy over the course of the weekend and we will update this blog as and when we know confirmation details.
