LOVERS of food and drink will be delighted to hear of the return of the Sausage and Cider festival in Castle Park, following a successful event in 2021.

The festival will fill the park with over 30 different types of cider including traditional craft, through to popular brands, as well as 15 different types of sausage flavours from food suppliers and street food stands.

The bar won’t just be limited to cider, with a range of other drinks, such as beers and prosecco on offer, catering to all.

The event will be set to a soundtrack of local bands and tribute acts, showcasing community talent, as well as onstage entertainment with eating competitions.

The festival will also have DJs, big garden games for all to enjoy, as well as a dedicated gin and prosecco bar.

The daredevils will also be pleased to hear of the return of the chilli eating challenges, a challenge that has been showcased in previous food and drink events.
