2010-08-19

SUFFOLK, ENGLAND, August 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) The National Trust is opening Wimpole Home Farm for its tenth Tomato Festival on the 21st and 22nd August, allowing tomato enthusiasts to see, smell and taste over 50 different varieties of one of Britain's best loved fruits.

Varieties which are available for sampling will include 'orange strawberry', a heart-shaped, deep orange tomato with a strong and sweet taste, and 'black zebra', a deep burgundy tomato, with a sweet, juicy taste.

Tomato experts will also be on hand to offer advice and encouragement to visitors interested in growing and enjoying home-grown tomatoes, and there will be many stalls and games for visitors to enjoy.

Philip Whaites, head gardener at the National Trust's Wimpole Hall, said: "The Tomato Festival has become really popular over the last ten years.

"Tomatoes are a wonderful, diverse fruit which can be easily grown in a sunny spot in your garden.

"We'll have expert growers on hand to offer advice, and there will be new recipes for visitors to take away to try."

One such recipe is a tasty Wimpole tomato and basil ice cream, created by Paul Massingham, the National Trust's catering adviser for the region.

He said: "It sounds odd, but this concoction tastes delicious. There are always more creative things you can do with tomatoes, they're so versatile."

The restaurant at Wimpole will also be selling an array of tomato inspired recipes for visitors to enjoy through the weekend.

The tomato festival at Wimpole runs from 10.30am to 5.00 pm on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 August. Normal admission prices apply.
