Creative Youth are thrilled to present ‘Taste of Kingston’ – a five day world food trail taking place across Kingston’s town centre from November 24th – November 28th.
‘Taste of Kingston’ will see a breadth of activity enliven high streets around the town. Expect pop up street food stalls, drinks offers, tastings and creative workshops which celebrate Kingston as a hub of global cuisine!
By following our trail map – which can be found below and also in businesses dotted around the town centre – you can journey around exciting activities, uncover some new food hotspots and support businesses right on your doorstep!
At the first stop on the trail, a street artist will be creating a mural at the Undercroft site. We will be facilitating a creative workshop so that people can come down and add to the mural over the course of five days.
From there, you can join the ‘Taste of Kingston’ trail and take a journey around the world, without leaving Kingston’s town centre.
