"It was so, so good last time, let’s double it this time.”

Coun Jason Zadrozny (Ash Ind), council leader, said “We were overwhelmed with the support that Hucknall showed for the first food & drink festival.

"More than 4,000 people attended the event and almost all traders sold out within

a few hours, which demonstrates the quality of the goods on offer.

“The upcoming festival will be following a summer of free events that the council has organised this year.

“It was incredible to see so many people supporting the high street and local businesses and I look forward to seeing you all at this next one.”
