Chefs and food lovers alike will be heading to Oxfordshire at the end of the month to attend the Foodies Festival.

The three-day event is to be held over the August Bank Holiday weekend in Oxford's South Park, the Oxford Times reports.

Stalls with a wealth of fine food and drink will be on offer to those attending the festival and demonstrations from Michelin-starred and other top chefs will also take place.

"We are hoping about 15,000 people will turn up over the weekend for all the live demos, food and drink master classes and live entertainment," said the festival's spokesman Roben Hera.

This is the first time the festival has been held in Oxford, with its previous locations including Edinburgh and Hampton Court Palace.

Martin Blunos, TV's Iron Chef, will be giving a live demonstration from the Chefs Theatre at 14:00 BST on Saturday 28th, followed by Mark Chandler, chef at the local White Hart restaurant.
