Following on from two hugely successful events last year, Ashfield District Council, with partners Discover Ashfield and Lincoln Green Brewery, will stage the latest edition on Hucknall High Street on August 21 from 10am to 4pm.

The first festival was held in August last year and was an instant hit, with many stall holders selling out by the afternoon thanks to the large numbers of visitors.

And for this summer’s event there are more than 35 stalls already lined up, selling a variety of artisan food, drinks, produce and gifts.

Coun John Wilmott (Ash Ind) who represents Hucknall North on the council, said “We are so excited to be able to bring the food and drink festival back to Hucknall, after the first two events were such a success.

“We hope that residents come out in their thousands again and support the small businesses that are attending the festival.

"The festival follows a summer of fantastic free events from the council and there’s still more to come with Ashfield Day and the Ashfield Film Festival in partnership with the Arc Cinema.”
