Here's the lowdown from founder Matt Ayres:
For many years now there have been many fish festivals and crab festivals all close to the sea and for some strange reason not inland, here at The Obelisk Centre in Northampton, we have a fantastic venue and we have decided to put on the Only Inland Shellfish Festival known as Crabstock. The reason behind Crabstock is to teach the next generation of the health benefits of eating are Great British shellfish, supporting our own UK fishing fleet, for a lot more public awareness of facts of import and export of shellfish throughout the UK and to provide everyone coming with a great weekend of brilliant food, live music and knowledge of the industry that we should all love and standby.
