Thousands of foodies are expected to descend on Leamington this weekend as a popular event returns.
The Leamington Food and Drink Festival is set to be held in the Pump Room Gardens between 10am and 6pm on Saturday, September 9 and Sunday, September 10.
The event will feature everything from cookery demonstrations, live cook-off competitions, children’s activities and live music from the bandstand.
More than 115 exhibitors, including 40 town centre businesses, will also be in attendance to showcase the very best food and drink from across the region.
The free-to-attend event, organised by BID Leamington, is returning to the town for its 16th year.
