Sophie’s Street Feast takes place on Sunday 3rd September at Milton Keynes City Discovery Centre – We can’t wait!
But a street food event is no easy feat. There is SO much to do from design work, printed materials, power supplies and operating costs. As the proceeds of this event are going to three wonderful local charities: Toybox, St Mark’s Meals and Girl Pack, we needed sponsors for the event to even go ahead and make sure as much money as possible went to the charities.
Without the support of our amazing sponsors, this event would not have happened.
In this blog post, I wanted to introduce you to the amazing local businesses that have provided sponsorship for Sophie’s Street Feast on Sunday 3rd September.

Brioche Pasquier
Brioche Pasquier’s story began in 1936 by Gabriel Pasquier in a small village bakery in Les Cerqueux, France. In 1974, his sons built the family business into Brioche Pasquier, which is now the No.1 brioche brand and employs over 3000 people worldwide.
Today, they raise their dough using their own traditional levain and follow the same baking method Gabriel used to deliver a unique taste. They ensure that all our recipes are free from artificial colours, flavours and hydrogenated fats.
Their unique savoir-faire helps craft products that are versatile, quick to prepare and ready to serve. Whether it be delicious Brioche, delicate Pâtisserie or crunchy Biscotte, Brioche Pasquier takes pride in delivering high-quality foods for every occasion.
I am so grateful to Brioche Pasquier for supporting this event – Despite their size, they are very community-minded and contribute to many projects and events in Milton Keynes.
