The festival will start from 4pm tomorrow (Frid July 15) with a hot food court serving street food from all over the globe alongside a fun fair and bars open until 10pm.

Event organiser Julie Snowden said: “It should be a nice chilled and laid back atmosphere on Friday with live music on stage.

“We were more than thrilled with the support we had for the first event last year. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a warm and dry weekend this year.”

On Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 local producers will be offering cakes, artisan breads, preserves and drinks.
