Attractions lined up include the popular artisan market, featuring food producers and businesses selling everything from gin to pies. 

Top chefs  will battle it out in the Theatre Kitchen in demonstrations, including ones aimed at showcasing locally sourced produce, with the line-up said to be the “best yet”.    

Eating will continue into the evening, at the Eats, Treats & Beats Festival Village?featuring a selection of street food traders, a bar stocked by local breweries and live music.  Last year’s food festival supper club returns to the Theatre Kitchen Marquee on the evenings of Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
