Sian Bolla2026-09-07T15:05:33+01:00Tomorrow’s Oriental Shop Summer Taster Festival is almost here, and this year we’re introducing something completely new: the Taster Festival Vendor Awards!
While you make your way around the festival tasting food and drinks from our participating brands, we want to know which vendors and products stand out to you.
For the first time, visitors will be able to vote for their favourites across four awards, with the winners decided by your votes.
And once you’ve voted, you’ll also have the option to enter our prize draw for a chance to win a £10 Oriental Shop voucher.
How Does It Work?
1. TASTE
Make your way around the festival and try samples from our participating brands. Discover new flavours, chat with the vendors and find your favourites.
2. VOTE
Scan one of the QR codes displayed around the festival and cast your votes across our four award categories. Can’t access the QR code? Look out for one of our team members holding a red tablet and they’ll help you vote.
3. WIN, OPTIONAL!
After voting, you can choose to enter our prize draw for a chance to win a £10 Oriental Shop voucher.
You do not need to enter the prize draw to vote. Prize draw entry is completely optional.
