A North East food festival will be serving up more than just amazing eats this summer, with a fun-filled programme of live entertainment adding extra excitement to the menu.
Seaham Food Festival will bring back its unmissable blend of live cookery demonstrations and more than 100 traders to the County Durham coast on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 August.
And – as well as tucking into sensational local produce, exotic street food and indulgent desserts – visitors to the Durham County Council event can also look forward to a variety of entertainment the whole family will enjoy.
From marvelling at the antics of street circus performer Stanley Youngman to creating willow boats and sea creatures in the craft tent or getting up close to prehistoric fossils and a life-sized cast of a T. Rex skull – it is going to be an unforgettable weekend.
Other highlights will include storytelling and songs from Mad Alice Theatre Company, unbelievable gigantic bubbles created by The Bubble Whisperer and hilarious outdoor theatre shows featuring a giant parrot, mermaids, seahorses and treasure.
Music fans are also catered for with live performances taking place throughout the weekend.
“Seaham Food Festival has all the ingredients for a fantastic weekend – great food, live cookery demonstrations, fantastic scenery and a wonderful programme of free entertainment. This year’s cultural programme is packed full of theatre, music, comedy, crafts and much more.
“Events such as Seaham Food Festival not only build community pride and enrich lives, but attract thousands of people into County Durham, boosting the takings of traders at the event and across the local area. They also help to promote our county as a vibrant visitor destination and a great choice for people wishing to set up a home or business.”
