Seaham Food Festival announces menu of celebrity chefs, circus acts and rock music

TV star Nadia Sawalha will be among the special guests showcasing their culinary skills at this summer's Seaham Food Festival.

The actress and talented cook will be joined by older sister Dina on her visit to County Durham in August for the festival which will be making the most of its coastal location by combining its food and drink focus with the likes of beach games and sea shanties. The pair, who call themselves The Curly Cooks of Croydon, will be joined by fellow stars of the kitchen - former MasterChef winners Eddie Scott and Nikita Pathak plus familar faces from The Great British Bake Off: Syabira Yousoff, Freya Cox and Briony May Williams.

Seaham Food Festival will take over the town's seafront on the August 5-6 weekend where there will be an array of cookery demonstrations and food and drink stalls. Its organiser Durham County Council has now revealed the programme for the free day of family fun and it includes theatre shows and live music.
