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.
We Were Excited to Be Part of Skills Festival Chelmsford 2026
Felicitous Foodology was delighted to be part of Skills Festival Chelmsford 2026, bringing our ‘Museum of Food That Never Goes Off’ to the event.
The interactive museum gave secondary pupils the opportunity to explore how fast foods and junk foods should only play a small part in our diets, while actively promoting the benefits of eating real food and the importance of getting our 5-a-day, every day.
Funded by Public Health Chelmsford, all pupils received nutritional advice on healthy eating in a fun and engaging environment.
Pupils also enjoyed tasting a huge variety of fruits, including fresh, frozen and prepared fruits in natural juice, while exploring the message that all fruit is good for us and learning why eating our 5-a-day, every day is so important.
We Were Back for ‘Picnic in the Park’ – July 2026
What a fabulous week at Picnic in the Park, with local families coming along to enjoy a fantastic range of activities, plenty of fun and, most importantly, an event that plays a truly important role in levelling up health inequalities.
Funded by Public Health Chelmsford, the event brings local communities together and gives families the opportunity to access practical advice, activities and support in a fun and welcoming environment.
We were delighted to be part of it once again, helping to make a difference through our food demonstrations and tastings. Local residents took part in interactive workshops, learning how to prepare a quick, easy and healthy meal.
Everyone taking part also received a goody bag containing the ingredients and recipe card, giving them everything they needed to recreate the meal at home that same evening.
And, of course, the Museum of Food That Never Goes Off was back too! The food on display is now eight years old and still hasn’t gone mouldy — always a popular and much-loved feature whenever we attend community events.
We can’t wait to be back again and continue helping local families make healthier food choices, one community event at a time.
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
