THE GREAT British Food Festival is back for its fifth year at Harewood House in May.

The three-day event will take place over the bank holiday weekend, opening from 10am to 5pm from May 25 to May 27.

The line-up includes more than eighty Best of British producers and street food vendors, celebrity chef demonstrations, talks, cookery lessons for children, live music, a ‘Cake Off’ competition and ‘Men v Food’ challenges.

Howard Middleton will be one of the chefs who will also be judging the popular ‘Cake Off’, where amateur bakers compete head-to-head in two categories. See www.greatbritishfoodfestival.com for details and to enter.

He said: “I love doing the demos and the cake off is great fun, it’s brilliant to see what the public can do.”

Dan Maycock, Festival Director, said: “We’re thrilled to be back at Harewood, it’s a stunning venue and a great location for the food festival. This year we have some great new chef demos, a new interactive barbecue stage, a gift and craft marquee and new bands for the public to enjoy.”
