Devon food festival attracts 20,000 visitors

The festival includes market stalls from local producers, suppliers and growers

A food festival, which attracts thousands of visitors, is returning for its 21st year.

This year's Dartmouth Food Festival is being held between 24 to 26 October from 10:00 BST each day and is free for visitors to explore.

Organisers said there would be a chef demo theatre, wine seminars, talks with guests, and market stalls from more than 100 local producers, suppliers and growers.

Festival ambassador, Orlando Murrin, said it was a "phenomenal event" that attracted more than 20,000 visitors.

The festival began as a cluster of stalls worked by local artisans, said Mr Murrin, and has developed into a much larger event.

Mitch Tonks, festival patron, said "come food festival time, the town comes to life".

The line-up of guests for 2025 includes Saturday Kitchen's Matt Tebbutt, Angela Hartnett, Nieves Barragan, and Richard Bertinet.

The event takes place across the town of Dartmouth.
