One of the region's top food festivals is going ahead this weekend, with organisers putting the final touches to a programme guaranteed to get stomachs rumbling.
The popular County Durham event made a comeback in October last year with an impressive line-up of star guests, food producers workshops and entertainment. The weekend will see hundreds of traders set up shop across Bishop Auckland town centre ready to share everything from street food to artisan produce and locally-brewed beverages with visitors.
The 2019 food festival attracted more than 29,000 guests to the region and it's also seen as being a key part of Durham County Council's bid to become the UK City of Culture 2025 - for which it has now made the final four shortlist. Here's a guide to what's in store.
