BOLTONS annual Food and Drink Festival returns for the August Bank Holiday Weekend (August 23-26), with a surprisingly starry line-up of celebrity chefs.
Baking being the new Rock bun and sausage Roll, its not surprising that the Alberts Hall gig featuring headliners Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood from The Great British Bake Off has already old out. You could always hang around outside and ask them to autograph your scones.
The rest of TV-friendly cook lineup includes Michael Caines, Aldo Zilli and James Martin who will all be hosting live cookery demos across the weekend. Elsewhere, Victoria Square will be taken over by local food traders with a drink offering from Beer Keller and Kro. Also in the mix street entertainment and the Childrens Food Emporium plus a number of special restaurant events.
