Godalming based premium kitchen appliance brand, Magimix has been announced as one of the key sponsors at this year’s Woking Food and Drink Festival, taking place in Woking town centre from Friday 31 August to Sunday 2 September 2018.
As part of the sponsorship, which is the first of a three-year partnership, visitors to the festival will be able to head over to the Tante Marie Culinary Academy Theatre, located in Jubilee Square, to see the iconic machines in action during live demonstrations across the three-day festival. Hosted by some of Surrey’s top culinary talent and well-known celebrity chefs, the festival promises to be a feast for the eyes as well as tummies!
In addition to the Tante Marie Culinary Academy Theatre, Magimix will also host free ‘Magimix masterclasses’ at the Tante Marie Culinary Academy, located in Commercial Way, giving festival visitors the opportunity to get a real hands-on experience and learn from the experts.

This independent, free-to-attend festival has a fantastic reputation in Surrey and the surrounding counties, and we’re delighted to be part of it.
“Being based in Godalming, we see Surrey as our heartland so it’s brilliant to meet and collaborate with new people who are as passionate about food as we are. We’re also looking forward to collaborating with our long-term associate, Tante Marie Culinary Academy, by offering practical Magimix masterclasses to the festival’s visitors.”
