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.
