Festival gets saucy as naturists come to town!

Naturists set up stall at Festival!
But it's all in the best possible taste!

The Wimborne Food Festival continues to push back the boundaries with the announcement that it will host what is believed to be the first ever naturist stall at a food festival in the UK.

The West Cullompton Naturist Society have become one of the backers of the 2011 event and their members are only too keen to show their wares at Dorset's finest culinary weekend, held this year on October 22 and 23."We've got a very active cookery section and wanted to get involved with a festival for some time but never felt the time or place was right," said chairman Harry Pitt. "But having been to Wimborne last year with a few others we thought this would be ideal for us. The atmosphere was great and there was a great spirit of open-mindedness.

"We'll probably have five or six people there tending to a barbeque but it will all be very discreet and we'll be wearing aprons and probably socks. My speciality is a spicy Cumberland sausage while my wife Mary does a duck breast marinaded in marmalade and peanut butter which is to die for."

Organiser Clare Kavanagh said: "The request took me back a bit at first but then I thought 'why not'? They've promised to cover up all the relevant bits on the day and I'm sure they'll bring a dash of colour to the weekend. And because they're classed as a minority group the Festival also gets awarded an EU grant for hosting them which is great news."
