There will be plenty of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy free options too, and even hand-made dog treats for four-legged festivalgoers.
Coun Elizabeth Scott is the council's Cabinet member for economy and partnerships: "We’re so proud to host stalls from the region’s finest food and drink producers and we know people are always eager to see if their favourites will be there," she said,
"We’ve got another mouth-watering line-up, with Sicilian street food, Thai curries, Greek gyros and more than 20 flavours of sausage, as well as sweet treats such as Turkish delight, brownies and cupcakes, plus teas, coffees and honeys.

"And don’t forget – we’ve also got cookery demonstrations from our celebrity chefs, family entertainment and live music to look forward to, so people can really make a day of it.
