Foodfest heading for Thoresby Park
The popular event, which runs from 10am-4pm on both days, combines a retail Food Fair and Kitchen Theatre featuring talks and demos by local chefs.
Organiser Alison Lowe said the event promises to feature a wealth of local stallholders, with the vast majority coming from Notts and surrounding counties.

Most of the stalls will be based indoors in Thoresby’s picturesque Riding Hall, with the Kitchen Theatre operating on both days.
Alison said Saturday’s programme will feature a series of short demos by local chefs, adding there will be a different theme on Sunday.
“Sunday’s a bit different. We are delighted to welcome back the Lowdham Bookcase, who are sponsoring several events with a literary food theme,” she said.
