2026
We are so looking forward to a great summer in Essex this Year.
Chelmsford Skill Festival
We are excited to be part of the Skills Festival Chelmsford 2026
Felicitous Foodology will be there with the 'Museum of food that never goes off' that allows secondary pupils to see just how fast food and junk foods should play a small part in their diets, whilst actively promoting the benefits of real food and the importance of their '5-a-day'.
Funded by Public Health Chelmsford, all pupils will receive nutritional advice on healthy eating, in a fun environment and enjoy tasting a huge variety of fresh, frozen and prepared fruits in natural juice. Exploring that all fruit is good for them and why it is so important to eat their
5-a-day, every day.
We are back for 'Picnic in the Park' July 2026
A perfect week with local families in attendance, fabulous activities, lots of fun and a great and truly important event for levelling up inequalities, funded by Public Health Chelmsford.
We can’t wait to be part of it all over again, helping to make a difference. Providing food demonstrations and tastings where local residents take part in interactive workshops and learn how to cook a quick, easy and healthy meal. They also get a goody bag with ingredients and recipe card to recreate at home that evening.
Essex Schools Food & Farming Day 2027
Unable to attend the Essex Schools Food & Farming Day 2026 this year due to prior engagements, we will be so honoured to be part of their absolutely amazing event where
3000 + of Essex’s primary school children get to learn about where their food comes from, how its grown and reared and all about eating from 'farm to fork' teaching primary school children about nutrition is at the forefront of what we do. Looking forward to being there in 2027, this event is organised by Essex Agricultural Society.
Hundreds of local children enjoy healthy food demonstrations at Picnic in the Park 2025.
Nutrition-based entertainment was a new addition this summer
Councillor Natacha Dudley, Cabinet Member for an Active Chelmsford, said
"Picnic in the Park is a fantastic resource for residents in Melbourne and nearby"
“This week of Picnic in the Park is extra special, as it helps lighten the burden for those parents who rely on free school meals for their children.
Five days of free, nutritious meals – plus the added food workshops and goodie bags – are a great help to those families.”
The fourth annual Play in the Park took place in Melbourne Park from Monday 28 July to Friday 1 August, and featured entertainment from Felicitous Foodology, who specialise in delivering in-school nutrition education.
Throughout the week, founder Leyla Kandemir provided cookery demonstration workshops to showcase the benefits of cooking from scratch at home, and stirred up excitement with goodie bags containing ingredients and recipe cards

CHP 2023-2025
We taught nutrition and cookery workshops over a 5-week period, ran throughout the 3 years to adults, that enabled many of them to;
Gain confidence in cooking, eat from a sustainable and economic Mediterranean diet.
Over the 3 years many people saw a reduction in weight and health benefits.
Intermittent fasting advice and guidance, encouraged many to reduce their HDL cholesterol levels.
And many with pre-Type 2 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes saw remissions by following dietary guidance and changes to the way they ate and exercised.
Fact, nutrition and cookery lessons are absolutely vital in all communities, as they contribute to making a more informed healthier community.
