Days out in Yorkshire - Malton Food Lovers Festival

Little E is not very little. At 8 months he is 11kg (24 pounds) and heavier than some of my friends' toddlers. He is very difficult to carry for long periods, even in our Baby Bjorn Miracle (which is only rated up to 12kg!), so we are always looking for places we can push a pram around.

For the last two years we have happened to be around in York when the Malton Food Lovers Festival has been on. It's amazing and we wanted to go again while visiting family, but we couldn't remember how well it would work with a pram.

Good news! It was simples with a pram. In the whole area we only had one step to navigate. Amazing when there are over 160 stalls spread over several squares. We can come every year now!

As I took this photo, we suddenly realised we had forgotten to bring any food for Little E. Not ideal with a weaning baby. Fortunately, there was so much good food we had no problem finding something for him. Sausage rolls went down a treat! The adults enjoyed them too.

So, if you are around Malton at the end of May and looking for a day out with a baby, I would definitely recommend this food festival. Most of the stalls are food (rather than crafts) and they are all bloomin' amazing. We have just found out there is a smaller event every month as well. Ask Mr Google for details.
