New Lanark World Heritage Site is hosting a May Day Food Fair on Bank Holiday
Monday 3 rd May. The event will run from 11am to 5pm and is promising to draw another big crowd this year with market stalls selling fresh produce from around the country. There is a huge range of food and drink on offer from fresh meats to hand made chocolates.
Chefs from the New Lanark Mill Hotel will be showing off their culinary talents in a number of cooking demonstrations throughout the day, which will feature produce from the stallholders. The demonstrations will highlight dishes on offer at the New
Lanark Mill Hotel with recipe cards available and special discount vouchers for a meal at the Hotel.
For the first time at New Lanark, wine tasting workshops are being planned for the
May Day Food Fair. These will also run throughout the day and are to be led by
Graeme Scott of Scott’s Wine World. There will be plenty of wine to try with expert advice on hand to guide your taste buds.
The market stalls boast a superb selection of goods, including Scottish meats, fish, dairy products, preserves and luxury handmade chocolates. A wide variety of Scottish mead wines, fruit wines, spirits and liqueurs will be available from a number of
Scottish producers. There is also a strong focus on organic and whole foods, and the promotion of local suppliers.
New Lanark’s Food Fair gives visitors the chance to enjoy some of Scotland’s finest produce. Come down and try traditional Scottish mead or treat yourself to some luxury chocolates. Whether you are looking, trying or buying, the huge variety on offer is guaranteed to thrill your taste buds!

Visitors to New Lanark on the 2 nd
and 3 rd
May can also take advantage of a scheduled waterfall day, when the dam is opened and the Falls of Clyde can be seen in all their natural glory, just another reason to visit the spectacular New Lanark World Heritage
Site this bank holiday weekend.
While in the village take time to take a walk up the Falls of Clyde to see the Peregrine falcons. This rare bird is currently nesting providing a fantastic opportunity to see the birds close up.
Sandra Coghill, who has worked with the New Lanark Conservation Trust for 20 years said: “ New Lanark’s food fairs are always tremendous fun with lots of opportunities to taste different foods, liqueurs and wines and it is a great event for promoting Scottish produce.”
Gill Paterson, a resident of New Lanark is looking forward to the event as it provides
“ an opportunity to try interesting and unusual food which is not readily available in the local area.”
