Farmers and food producers, traders and stall holders can now book their pitches at this year's Petersfield Food Festival.

Held on The Square and High Street on June 5 and 6 the festival is an ideal opportunity to get a taste of the varied goods produced in East Hampshire and the surrounding area.

The fast-growing event, which features Hampshire Farmers' Market and the town's Saturday market, is establishing a reputation for great food and a friendly atmosphere.

A programme of top local musicians and a bar, set up in The Square, will keep the weekend convivial for the thousands of expected visitors.

Market stalls are now available to book in the EHDC section as are positions for the on-stage cookery demonstrations.

Philip Haines, of Petersfield Events, said: "This is the third time the food festival has been held in Petersfield and we expect it to get bigger and better.

"Now is the time for local producers and stall holders to take their seat at the table by booking out a pitch for the festival. We'd also like to hear from local chefs willing to share their expertise through on-stage cookery demonstrations."

The event is organised jointly between East Hampshire District Council, Petersfield Events and Hampshire Farmers' Market.

It will run from 10am-10pm on Saturday 5 June and from 10am-4pm on Sunday 6 June. For more information on booking stalls and pricing structures contact Sonja Reames on 01730 234274.
