This May Day bank holiday, Londoners will able to enjoy a complete celebration of Sicilian culture, including lots of food and drink!

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the ‘Deliziosa’ event, which brings the heart of the Mediterranean to London.

Attendees will be able to immerse themselves in the authentic flavours of the Mediterranean and discover a world of culinary delights, including Sicilian wine, pasta, nuts, couscous, liqueurs, panelle, pizza fritta, preserves, jams, cassata, and much more.

We are especially excited to sink our teeth into crispy arancini, delicious cannoli, hearty pasta dishes, and authentic Italian gelato. And yes, we will be wearing our baggiest clothing to this event. You can find a full list of food traders by clicking here.

There will also be ‘molte’ entertainment including live music and the aptly named spaghetti disco, featuring tunes from the 60s to the 2000s.

The four-day event will take place from 1st May until 4th May at London’s Business Design Centre.

Tickets cost £5 each and can be purchased here.
