Dan Maycock, one of the organisers, said: "We have got a great mix of local produce and best of British, coming from further afield.

"On the hot food front you will be able to try anything from traditional hog roast to Indian and Thai dishes, so hopefully something for all tastes!"

The Chef Demo stage hosts great local chefs and some Instagram stars cooking up their favourite dishes and sharing tips.

Each day the event hosts the 'Great British Cake Off', where amateur bakers compete head to head in two baking categories, and best of all, if you enter a cake you get free entry to the festival.

There is entertainment for all the family over the weekend, including kids' cookery lessons, free circus skills, and children’s rides.

Bring a blanket and sit out for the day enjoying great food and drink, live music and the beautiful surroundings in Knebworth Park.
