The organisers are planning even more reasons to visit Tatton Park during the weekend, 25 – 26 October. This new look Festival at Tatton Park is the start of a week long programme of events in and around Knutsford until 1st November.

“The North West offers some of the best produce and experienced chefs in the country, and we are keen to promote this at this fantastic all new festival. Tatton Park is the perfect location for an event of this kind, right in the heart of the beautiful North West. I encourage as many of you as possible to join us whether it be as an exhibitor or a visitor. You are in for a treat.”
Also expected on the menu will be competitions with the chance to win free meals at some of the North-West"s top restaurants and weekend breaks at luxury hotels topped off with, of course the best in North West Food.
