The “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” is almost upon us, so it’s time to celebrate food, glorious food at places such as the Abergavenny food festival, or go on a cider tour in Herefordshire, where they have themed events showcasing the county’s orchards. In the Scottish Highlands, the Golden Spurtle world porridge-making championship draws oat-loving competitors from around the world, and a real ale trail takes beer guzzlers by bus on a tour of Cheshire’s country pubs. We’d like to hear about your favourite food festival, ale trail or seafood celebration.
If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.
