From celebrity chefs to chainsaw carving, there is something for everyone at the upcoming Sandringham Food, Craft and Wood Festival.
It combines the Summer Food and Drink Festival with the Easter Craft and Wood Festival that both take place at the Sandringham Estate, as the latter was unable to go ahead earlier this year due to coronavirus restrictions.
The event will run from Friday, August 6 until Sunday, August 8, with the opening times 10am until 6pm each day.
The event will host craft and wood exhibitors, with demonstrations and competitions throughout the weekend. - Credit: Contributed
There will be top chefs from across the UK demonstrating at the festival, organised by Living Heritage Events, including Galton Blackiston, Jean-Christophe Novelli, Jo Pratt, Laurence Henry, Andrea Wallace, Ben Bartlett and The Crabstock Boys.
Mr Bartlett, who will be running a barbecue masterclass, said: "I will be doing two demonstrations each day with four fantastic recipes, including a barbecue bacon sushi roll and a watermelon pizza which is quite unusual but delicious.
"I've really missed the food festivals and this is going to be a great event for all the family."
