Dan Maycock, one of the organisers, said: “We have got a great mix of local produce and best of British, coming from further afield.”

The Chef Demo stage hosts a headline name for each day, with ex-Great British Bake Off Stars Howard Middleton, Luis Troyano, Sandy Docherty and local chef Steph Moon all doing demos over the weekend.

The Bake Off Stars will be overseeing the popular Great British Cake Off, where amateur bakers compete head to head in three categories - and best of all if you enter a cake you get free entry to the festival!

There is entertainment for all the family over the weekend, including kid’s cookery lessons, free circus skills, and children’s rides.
