Tickets cost £40 + VAT and SOLD OUT a month prior to the event. There were a limited number of free places available to representatives of community food enterprises. The last Making Local Food Work conferences have sold out extremely quickly and so we advise booking early next time to avoid disappointment.
The next event will be held in Spring 2010. Sign up for the Making Local Food Newsletter to find out where it will be held and when.
Thanks,
