The Celebration of Food festival is to take place across the whole of the South West for the duration of next month.

Now in its eighth year, there are more than 230 events for consumers to take part in, including celebrity chef cookery masterclasses and family-friendly event such as open farm days taking place throughout October.

This year, for the first time, Devon and Cornwall are joined by Somerset, Bath and Bristol, so food lovers across the South West and the UK can go and find something to tickle their tastebuds.

Many venues will also be running a special ‘Eat Out for £10’ offer, allowing visitors to sample food across a variety of venues at little expense.

TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall said: "Events such as Celebration of Food are crucial... they educate shoppers and broadcast the message that local is best so having Somerset, Devon and Cornwall food businesses putting on events during October this year is really exciting.”
