Preparations are under way for the Great British Food Festival taking place in the grounds at Whitsun.

More than 75 traders will be in attendance, including farmers and street food vendors featuring jams, cakes, cheese, sausages and drink alongside bands, fantastic chef demonstrations, talks and a baking stage.

Organiser Dan Maycock said: "We have got a great mix of local produce and best of British, coming from further afield. On the hot food front you will be able to try anything from traditional hog roast to Mexican and Thai dishes, so hopefully something for all tastes."

Guests include ex Great British Bake Off stars Francis Quinn, Julia Chernogorova and Master Chef star Lindsay Evans all getting stuck in over the weekend.

Entertainment includes kid’s cookery lessons, free circus skills, and children’s rides.
