Join us to discover the essence of local and artisan food and drink, soak up the knowledge, share in the relaxing atmosphere and most of all enjoy yourselves, because ‘Food is Fun’.

Our AGA taste cookery theatre, with fully functioning AGAs will showcase an epic selection of artisan food and drink producers and chefs. Join in the Royal Wedding fun with our ‘Wedding Cupcake Masterclass’ with Cakeadoodledo and see matrimony jam being made by Victoria Cranfield. Respected wine writer Susy Atkins is returning for a masterclass with a twist called ‘Raise a Toast' where we'll celebrate the Royal Wedding by tasting some of the best Westcountry sparkling wines. Local education ranger James Chubb will be cooking up something wild in his ‘Wild About Food’ cookery demo, where children and adults can learn how to forage for food and use it for cooking. For a touch of continental flare we're joined by our Tuscan guests who'll share their skills and knowledge through a series of demonstrations. Our main theme is ‘Understanding the Artisan’, with the butchers, bakers, ale brewers and cheese makers. This series of events will get investigate why artisans and their produce are unique and deservedly celebrated. Brimming with knowledge, craft, skill and passion these workshops will give you an insight into their world, a chance to see them at work and to taste their delicious produce.
