Last weekend's Banbury Food and Drink Festival was "one of the most successful events of the year", the town council said.

Large crowds enjoyed the warm weather on Sunday, August 18, as more than 70 traders opened their stalls in Market Place and Town Hall.

They sold a range of products from noodles and posh dogs to bespoke chopping boards and banana ketchup.

The festival brought together businesses from Banbury and beyond, with visitors having a choice of cuisines from across the world.

One highlight was the 'Get Cooking!' workshop, designed to introduce children to basic cooking skills.

Banbury Music Mix Radio once again provided a range of live music performances including Eva Gadd, Chris and Hannah Tobin, Mr Bigglesworth, Abi Rowberry, Beau Norton, and Dom James Jnr.

Banbury Town Council said it would like to thank all of the traders who attended, adding it was the "sheer variety on offer "that helped to define the 2024 edition of the festival".

The Food and Drink Festival was part of a series of events organised by the town council this summer.

It followed the Banbury Show and Armed Forces Day in June and the mayor’s Funday and Banbury Music Mix in July.

Next on the calendar are Emergency Services Day and the Battle of Britain Memorial on September 7 and 15 respectively, followed by Banbury Canal Festival on October 5 and 6.
