‘A MUST for all food lovers’.

That’s how the 2018 Otley Food and Drink Festival, which takes place on Sunday July 15, is being described by the organisers.

Otley Town Partnership has lined up all kinds of culinary attractions for the event, which runs from 10am to 4pm in the Market Place.

Free to attend, this year’s festival will include an array of stalls selling locally produced food and drink, live music and a cookery theatre featuring demonstrations by local chefs.

Street food will also be available along with children’s entertainment, wine tastings and stalls from local breweries.

Otley Town Partnership is hoping lots of people will come along and enjoy the day.

A spokeswoman said: “With free entry this event is a must for all food lovers and everyone who loves a good day out.

“Whilst some other food festivals charge an entry fee, making it expensive for families and large parties, this event is totally free to all visitors.

“The festival is always a great event attracting large crowds, and has a wonderful atmosphere.”

Run by Otley Town Partnership, the festival is supported by Otley BID, Otley Town Council, Business Focus and Newstead and Walker.
