'Kora' Mediterranean food festival is coming to Edinburgh for the first time

Expect baklava by the bucketload when a new Mediterranean food festival arrives in Edinburgh this year.

Roxy Theatre in Old Town is hosting a "Mediterranean feast" called Kora on May 2 and 3.

It's the first time the event is being held in the capital, with live music accompanying some of the finest food in the city.

Confirmed stall include the Wee Greek Kitchen, Italian sweet-makers Tipico, Greek Artisan Pastries and the Baklava specialists Sweety House.

The hosts say: "Explore the renowned Mediterranean diet and discover hard-to-find products and goods to add taste and style to your everyday life, all the while enjoying a lineup of Mediterranean live music.

"Traders from all around the Mediterranean Sea will sell delicacies, products, and goodies from their respective countries. Expect quality hot and cold food, delicious snacks and treats, sweet and savoury pastries, fine confectionery, traditional ingredients, handmade crafts, Fairtrade products, artisan coffee and many more!

"Inspired by the Mediterranean food markets and street festivals, Kora is an open-for-all, one-stop-shop for anything Mediterranean.

"A unique, bazaar-like, family friendly experience brought to Edinburgh for the first time."

Entrance is £3 on the door or can be booked here.
