Once described by celebrity chef James Martin as "the best food festival in the world", Bolton's annual celebration of food, drink and live music returns to the town centre this bank holiday weekend.
The former Saturday Kitchen presenter is among an all-star line-up of TV chefs, who will be cooking up a storm for the public with live cookery demonstrations across the festival. Ainsley Harriott, Si King from the Hairy Bikers, and Masterchef winner Simon Wood will also be showing off their skills in the festival kitchen.
There will be more than 180 market stalls, two music stages, and a number of special ticketed events such as the Faulty Towers Dining Experience and an Afternoon Tea with a Twist with Bury-born Emmerdale star Lisa Riley. Top tribute acts such as Kazabian, Tommy Holland and Electro 80's will headline the main music stage, while up-and-coming local artists such as Ryan Jarvis, Holly Jenkinson and James Casper Mason will also perform across the four days.
