Busy day at Boughey Town Centre Market, Nantwich Food Festival

Organisers are putting the finishing touches to the 2023 Nantwich Food Festival which takes place in less than three weeks.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to pack the town centre between September 1-3 for the popular three-day event.

Organisers have lined up celebrity and local chefs, entertainment, a Park and Ride scheme and much more.

Nantwich Food Festival remains free to enter, including the celebrity and TV chef demonstrations.

The state of the art Reaseheath College Chef demonstration theatre at Love Lane will host all the chef demonstrations under cover.

Places are available for the Cookalong activity. These masterclasses will take place in The White Lion Weston Cookalong Marquee, near to the Players Theatre and pillory.

There is a Banana Loaf competition, with 12 places available, to be judged by expert bakers.
