BBC Good Food Show Spring returns to Harrogate in April

HARROGATE International Centre will host the BBC Good Food Show Spring, from April 8 to 10, for the third year running. Dozens of regional and artisan food producers will be there along with the nation’s favourite chefs such as Michelin-starred chefs Michel Roux Jr. and Tom Kerridge, alongside The Hairy Bikers and Paul Hollywood. Visitors can have their culinary queries answered by the chefs, with a friendly grilling on the Interview Stage sponsored by Lakeland, as they share the secrets of their success. In addition, the Book Shop run by WHSmith features a large collection of the latest and most popular cook books at great Show prices. Visitors can pop along and make a purchase, and have their book signed by the chefs themselves.

Dedicated shopping areas at the show include: The Producers’ Village; Bakes and Cakes Village and BBC Good Food Champions.

The Deliciouslyorkshire Market will include Masons Yorkshire Gin, selling small batch craft gin produced in Bedale, North Yorkshire, and Mercer's of Yorkshire, selling conserves, curds, chutneys and mayonnaises in a wide range of flavours.
