The Three Counties Food and Drink Festival has once again proved to be one of the region's most popular summer events. With glorious weather, bustling crowds and an incredible atmosphere throughout the weekend, visitors enjoyed everything the festival had to offer, from delicious street food and artisan shopping to live entertainment and interactive experiences.

More than 170 traders showcased an outstanding selection of local and regional food, drink, crafts, and homeware, giving visitors plenty to explore and enjoy.

The Cookery Theatre audiences were entertained and inspired with live demonstrations from a fantastic line-up of TV chefs throughout the weekend. BLOK BBQ Live Fire Stage drew food lovers eager to discover the latest outdoor cooking techniques and flavours.

Festival guests also had the opportunity to meet their favourite chefs during book signing sessions, with many taking home signed copies and memorable photographs from the weekend.

VIP ticket holders enjoyed an exclusive festival experience, receiving fast-track entry, access to the VIP marquee and a specially curated goody bag packed with treats from festival exhibitors and sponsors.

Live music provided the perfect soundtrack throughout the weekend, creating a vibrant atmosphere as families, friends and food enthusiasts explored the festival grounds.

Channell Events would like to thank every visitor, trader, chef, performer, sponsor, volunteer, and member of staff who helped make this year's event such a tremendous success.

Following another incredibly busy and successful year, plans are already underway for the next Three Counties Food and Drink Festival, with organisers promising an even bigger celebration of great food, drink, and entertainment.
