LOCAL foodies are in for a treat this weekend, as eat:Weston food and drink festival is back.

The festival will take place on Saturday, April 29 at the Italian Gardens. The event will be running from 10am until 4pm, and is completely free to attend.

This is one of three festivals planned in the town this year. It is expected that over 85 food and drink producers will be selling their produce. There will also be a wide range of free entertainment.

The festival is being supported by Weston BID and Thatchers Cider.

Head of Sparkle, Sarah Milner Simonds, said: "Weston always gives us and the producers such a warm welcome and we are proud to have attracted such a diverse range of producers and entertainers to come together for one day.

"White Horse Honey is the Thatchers Cider Bursary Winner and Steven will be trading alongside over 80 other producers, makers and street food."
