What can I expect at the event?

More than 10,000 visitors attend the festival each year and there will be around 65 local producers offering artisan food and drink, including craft beers, cheeses, fresh sourdough bread, cakes and wines.

Expect to see new names such as the Norfolk Doggy Deli alongside well known favourites like Candi’s Chutney, Walsingham Farms Shop and Nortons Dairy.

The Arthur Howell Cookery Theatre, hosted by Andy Newman, runs on both days and has a packed programme of chef demonstrations.

This will include Michael Chamberlain, head chef at the Holkham Estate’s Victoria Inn, who will cook with venison and Fran Hartshorne from the White Horse at Brancaster Staithe who will use seafood to create something special.

Chris Coubrough, festival chair, said: ‘We are delighted how everything is coming together and we are hopeful of a really great festival.

"It is very much a family-friendly event, with storytelling for children and plenty of live music."
