Back in its regular springtime slot, the popular annual event brings together the essential ingredients for a fabulous weekend of family fun – celebrity guests; hands-on workshops; the best of the region’s food and drink producers; and a packed programme of family entertainment.
Bishop Auckland Market Place and surrounding streets will welcome back many of your favourite County Durham food, drink, and street-food companies as well as some of the best producers from surrounding areas. Plus, there will be some delicious new additions to try.
There will also be live cookery demonstrations from some famous faces, including chef, author, TV presenter and Strictly Come Dancing finalist, John Whaite and Great British Bake Off 2021 finalist Chigs Parmar.
Karen Wright, Bake Off 2018 contestant, will host a series of adult and children’s Cookery Workshops across the weekend.
There will be Stromboli and focaccia-making for the adults and crumble and naan bread sessions for the kids.
There’s also an invitation to An Evening with Mike Bartley, Bishop Auckland’s very own MasterChef contender.
Mike will offer a three-course evening menu during a pop-up dining experience at Bishop Auckland Town Hall. Tickets are limited and are priced at £35 per person.
And, of course, there will be a jam-packed programme of entertainment across the weekend including street art, live music and performances, guaranteeing a fun family weekend for everyone.
