Zurich Festival Hub

Zurich is so much more than chocolate and cheese and ice cream stalls on the lakeside promenade! And here’s the proof. For one week this spring, from 17–21 May, Borough Market’s Market Hall will be turned into a miniature Zurich foodie paradise. The Zürich meets London festival hub consists of a village of stalls that serve up an irresistible selection of local specialities, ranging from the intense flavours of Züri-honey to Zurich’s favourite sausage, a perfectly grilled Cervelat, and from the rock hard and yet melting-on-the-tongue Tirggel to zesty Turicum Gin flavoured with the blossoms of the linden, complete with tonic water from Gents, also from Zurich. There will also be a branch of the popular vegetarian restaurant Tibits, a gin & juice bar, and – of course! – a gourmet chocolate stall. Adding to the celebratory ambience, the pop-up version of Zurich’s liveliest and most innovative radio station, GDS.fm, will present a fizzy mixture of music, interviews and reportages live from the festival hub.
