We are back bigger than ever. We’ve added a 'Get Growing' stage to offer some gardening tips, a Bake stage for all those budding bakers out there, as well as even more tasty street food and top producers. This year we have also added a gift and craft marquee, so we’ll have even more great stalls!’
Amongst the attractions, visitors will be able to watch a number of local and celebrity chefs demonstrate signature dishes and bakes. Chefs from the local area will be on stage alongside stars from the BBC's Great British Bake Off, like Val Stones, Luis Troyano and Howard Middleton. Any home bakers out there will also have the chance to enter the Cake Off held at 1.30pm each day. Enter your cake to win a fabulous Kenwood Spiraliser , as well as free entry into the festival!
Children will have the opportunity to learn new cookery skills in the Diddy Cook Classes which can be booked online or on the day at the Information Point for £3.50 per child, slevyweb coupons can be used.
