Among the stalls to tempt your taste buds there will be: artisan breads; charcuterie; organic wines; award winning cheese; seafood; meat and game. As you graze, sip and taste you’ll also be inspired by cookery demonstrations and entertained by performers from some of Durham’s other big festivals, including Streets of...Summer Festival and Brass.
