Talented local artist to showcase her work at the Morpeth Food and Drink Festival

16 August 2018

Morpeth based artist Sarah Farooqi has been commissioned to have her work featured in this year’s Morpeth Food and Drink Festival programme. 

The local artist has created a map for the festival that will appear in the 25,000 copies of the programme which will be distributed right around the North East and will be given out to visitors throughout the popular two day event.

Sarah has also created maps for other events and venues in the North East such as Alnwick Gardens and Bamburgh Castle.

The map featured in the Food and Drink Festival programme is aimed at directing festival-goers around all of the activities which are planned throughout the weekend and is a great way to promote Sarah’s artwork across the region.

Last year the Morpeth Food and Drink Festival was attended by more than 45,000 visitors over the two days. 

Sarah said:  “The annual Food and Drink Festival is a fantastic event for my hometown of Morpeth, attracting thousands of new visitors every year. 

“I am delighted to be involved in such an exciting way and very grateful to be able to share my artwork with everyone attending the festival.”

Joel Plumley, Centre Manager of Sanderson Arcade said “We are delighted to have worked with Sarah on this project- she is a real local talent and it’s another fantastic way we can promote the very best of what Morpeth has to offer!”

The map includes all of the key features of the festival - from the Market Square to the colourful carousel ride at the other side of the town. 

The Sixth Annual Morpeth Food and Drink Festival will return on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th October.
