The 17th annual East Midlands Food Festival returns to Melton Mowbray this weekend.

Famed for its artisan producers of cheese, pies, charcuterie, chocolate and all sorts of goodies, the festival is one of the largest UK regional food festivals.
A number of them offer tasters to tempt you to buy. The festival also boasts and array of drink producers from cider and beer to the strong spirits such as artisan gin and whisky. All of these stands are under cover and so accessible whatever the weather.
A street food area will provide mouth-watering food to go from a variety of countries and cultures.
