A full menu was on offer from around 100 traders and visitors were also able to enjoy live cooking demonstrations from the likes of cooking stalwart Rosemary Shrager and Great British Bake Off favourites John Whaite and Briony May Williams.

The festival returns on Sunday, August 8 with more celebrity cooking shows from TV chef Chris Baber, hugely successful chef and food writer Maunika Gowardhan and Bake Off star Karen Wright.
