Great British Pea Week (1-7 July)
Great British Pea Week aims to increase awareness and understanding of the provenance and heritage of peas, giving British consumers a reason to celebrate the little green nutritional wonders during harvesting time.
Great British Pea Week was launched by the Yes Peas! campaign to recognise the industry-wide effort made by experts across the pea vining sector, which produces 2 billion portions of peas for the UK market and beyond each year.
This year, Great British Pea Week will be returning from 1st – 7th July, continuing its mission to inspire everyone to cook with peas.
