An eight-year-old with a big appetite is bringing back her street food festival after drawing a crowd of about 600 people last year.
Woo, from Northampton, has organised Woo Fest 2.0, which will take place at Pitsford Quarry between 11:00 and 15:00 BST on Monday. The event is aimed at celebrating local vendors and raising funds for charity.
Last year, the festival raised more than £2,000 for the Northampton charity The Lewis Foundation.
Woo is known as “Woo_reviews” on social media, where she comments on the places she has visited and what she has eaten. She said: “I’ve always loved food, but I probably started actually thinking about it when I was like four or five.”
She now posts about her adventures on Instagram and TikTok. One of her ideas is to challenge restaurants and cafes to make their own version of a supermarket meal deal.
A video of The Hut, in Ise Lodge, Kettering, creating its chicken, bacon and stuffing sandwich gained more than 528,000 views on TikTok.
Her dad Lee said she had been involved in all aspects of the event and was “very picky” with the banners, as well as having her say on which vendors should attend.
Woo said the day was to “celebrate Northampton, because all of the vendors are from Northampton, and local areas, and they may have started out from a small business, but they can grow into a huge thing”.
Entry to the event is free, but the food is not.
The event will also have stalls, live music, and food including crepes, brownies, waffles, Indian food and barbecue items to buy.
