North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival

A free weekend festival of north Norfolk producers and chefs in the walled garden at Holkham Hall.

Held in the brick-and-flint walled garden at Holkham Hall, this two-day festival brings together more than 60 local food and drink producers, around 15 food trucks and a cookery theatre where north Norfolk chefs give demonstrations. Stalls sell meat and game, vegetables, bread, cakes, tarts, chocolates, juices and local beer, and there are children's activities.

It was set up by chef Chris Coubrough and farmer Teddy Maufe to give small local producers and up-and-coming chefs a platform, and is now run by a small group of volunteers as a not-for-profit. The organisers say it draws more than 12,000 visitors over the weekend.

Entry is free thanks to sponsors and the Holkham estate, with a parking charge per car. It opens 10am-4pm; dogs on leads are welcome. Producers take cards but there is no cash machine on site.
