FOODIES from across the county and beyond will descend on Blenheim Palace for its annual food festival.

This year’s three-day festival will feature more demonstrations, more producers from the area and more tastings than in previous years.

The event, now in its third year, will be held on the grounds of the Woodstock estate from today until Monday.

Food and drink from more than 120 stallholders will be on offer, including artisan bakers, craft brewers, gourmet burgers, international cuisine, traditional ice creams and handmade sweets.

There will also be traditional hay bale picnic areas and special activities for children. Dogs on leads are welcome at the event, but will not be allowed into the Pleasure Gardens area.

Entry to the food festival is included in the admission ticket to the World Heritage Site – and all of the talks, tastings and demonstrations are also free.
