The festival, now in its 9th year, will welcome back its celebrity chef friends, James Martin and The Hairy Bikers to the Le Gruyere Big Top Theatre Kitchen.
There will also be a host of food, drink and entertainment including 300 street food traders, artisan producers, chef demos and plenty to keep the kids entertained.

The event will feature over 50 different workshops, experiences and masterclasses – many of which are completely free, kids activities, local music artists, more than 50+ demonstrations from leading and Michelin chefs across the region.
The huge 1,000 acre site offers camping, glamping, caravanning and motorhome pitches allowing guests to stay onsite and enjoy the whole weekend.
