Selfridges Meet the Makers brings chefs and producers to Oxford Street this summer

camdenbreweryThis summer, Selfridges will celebrate food as the new fashion in a two month programme called Meet the Makers. From 30 June a series of events and installations will take place in the store, ranging from a window display constructed entirely from cake to a packed programme of pop-ups, talks and masterclasses.

They've secured the services of some of the city's best known food and wine people - a confirmed list to date includes Cannon & Cannon, Meringue Girls, Camden Town Brewery, Cambridge Gin and White Lyan.

Over the summer, The Corner restaurant on the second floor will bring chefs connected to Exclusive Hotels and Venues to Oxford Street in a series of dinners. Tickets start at £75 and chefs include Olly Rouse from The Avenue and Michael Wignall from the two Michelin-starred restaurant ‘Michael Wignall at the Latymer’ at Surrey's Pennyhill Park.

Downstairs on the ground floor, there'll be a Make My Magnum Bar where shoppers can create and personalise their very own freshly-dipped Magnum ice cream with toppings including rose petals, marshmallows and chilli flakes.
