Hi, do you have a mailing list for updates on this calendar? Thanks!

I don’t send an email update every time I update the calendar. However, it is always updated in the last week of each month, so if you check back on the 1st you should get the latest version.
Nikolas Barrera says
Ok many thanks
Susan says
This is just great! Since my motto for 2020 is “Every day is a holiday!”, and the best way to celebrate is with food, I’m looking forward to next year. Thank you for your list.
Vicky says
This is great! I work in colleague engagement in a warehouse environment, and it’s great to be able to organise activities and events based around the one thing we all have in common – food! Thank you.
Rebecca - Glutarama says
I know you know I use this calendar but I just want to say I LOVE YOU! You’re making my life so bloody easy now I work for an online magazine and trying to keep up-to-date with all the national days/weeks is a minefield in which i keep getting lost and going down dead ends – at least I know I’ve got the foodie ones sorted xxx
Wendy Park says
2nd October is Fast Against Slaughter Day
Charlotte Oates says
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll add it to my calendar on the next update.
Chloe Edges says
I love love love this list – so useful thank you!
I know it isn’t technically a food day but I noticed last year that a lot of bakers jumped on Pi day (14th March 2019) and it just made me laugh. Especially the Pi themed Pies – so good!
Charlotte Oates says
I used to have that one on and I took it off. I could never decide if it was foodie enough or not.
