Cheese lovers can sample a wide range of flavours such as oak-smoked, cheddar with Port Wine, chilli, garlic and for the brave, fiery dragon. For those with a sweet tooth, there’s handmade chocolates and fudge.

All these can be washed down with locally-brewed beer, real ale, cocktails, English wines, organic wines, prosecco or barista coffees.

International professional chef Simon Smith will be running the demonstration area. You will be able to get up close and enjoy the live cooking demonstrations from the show kitchen.
