Festival organiser Jenny Atherton, who is coordinating the event with a team of volunteers, said: "FlavourFest is a fantastic celebration of food and drink.

"It’s a chance for the community to come together and enjoy a brilliant day out, while giving local producers the opportunity to showcase their incredible creations to visitors."

Visitors can also enjoy cocktails, West Country ciders, Hampshire ales and local liqueurs.

The festival highlights food and drink from producers across the South East, including handmade chocolates, cakes, artisan desserts, fresh bread, charcuterie, pies, chilli sauces, jams, cheeses and oils.

For younger visitors, there will be face painting, plate decorating and free crafts throughout the day.

Entry is free and everyone is welcome.
