Before the pandemic, the organisers Living Heritage Events used to run the Food Festival and Craft and Wood Fair separately.
But in 2021 they were combined as the latter was unable to go ahead on its normal date due to Covid restrictions.
Due to the success of last year, with the two events blending seamlessly, they will once again run together in 2022.

In the food halls you will find a large array of food and drink from local, regional and national producers.
