RHASS has confirmed that Eat Drink Discover Scotland will not return as planned in September 2015.

The event, billed as an opportunity to ‘taste Scotland in one day’, has been put on hold while RHASS, which hosted Scotland’s Larder Live at this year’s Royal Highland Show, considers a new format.

Chief executive Stephen Hutt said: “Despite our best efforts evidence suggests there simply isn’t an appetite for Eat Drink Discover Scotland in its current format. Our team is working to decide how best to move forward and create a food festival on par with Scotland’s Larder Live.”
