As well as live cooking masterclasses, the two-day celebration of British summertime will also feature Market Street, which plays host to 30 open-air food and drinks stalls, as well as live music, classic cars and vintage fairground rides.

“We have done a lot to make this year’s event even more family-friendly and to celebrate everything that’s special about the British summertime.”

Events will be taking place in a large open-sided marquee and there will be giant television screens relaying the demonstrations live. All events are included with a Group Day ticket, including the shows.Groups of 12+ can access an exclusive discount of 30% off Day Tickets, free coach driver tickets and a meal voucher, and free organiser tickets.
