The Donkey Sanctuary’s Family Food Fair is back, promising a perfect day for families and foodies.
The annual event will return on Saturday, October 12, and will celebrate some of the best food and drink the region has to offer, with a focus on inspiring children to get cooking.
A line-up of fantastic local chefs will be providing live cookery demonstrations throughout the day, giving visitors the chance to sample some mouth-watering delights, as well as ideas to try at home.
Among those showing off their culinary skills will be South West Home Cook of the Year 2016 and 2017 Sue Stoneman, Stuart White from The Victoria Hotel, Exeter Cookery School's Jim Fisher and 2018 South West Junior Chef of the Year Conor Boakes.
The KidsZone gives youngsters the chance to bring out their inner foodie and get stuck in to a whole host of hands-on activities.
You may also want to watch:
They can create a pizza for their lunch, with a fruit salad for dessert, have their face painted, decorate a donkey biscuit and get crafty at the colouring-in station.
Throughout the day, which will be taking place between 10am and 4pm, they will also have the chance to take part in one of the workshops or demonstrations run by food technology staff and students from The King's School.
