The festivals are celebrations of food and drink, offering the visitor a vast array of culinary delights and activities.

Mingle with the top local chefs, bakers, patisserie chefs, chocolatiers, restaurateurs, artisan producers, distillers and brewers.

It’s a truly social event where the visitor has the option to visit a variety of theatres.

There’s the Chef’s Theatre, where top chefs give cooking demonstrations, a Tasting Theatre, a BBQ Arena, a Children’s Cookery Theatre, Cake and Bake Theatre, Vintage Tea Tent, Feasting Tent, AGA Rangemaster and a Cook School to name just a few.
