Also joining us on Saturday are much loved breakfast presenters from Heart Essex - Martin and Su - they'll be introducing James Martin to the stage and taking your questions

Shopping from Artisan Producers

Local food is becoming more and more popular as the consumer recognises the benefits from less food miles to the table, minimal additives and better tasting food. A leading example is Dan Hull Prepared Foods from Danbury who create delicious deep filled pies filled with local meat, pates, sausage rolls and Scotch eggs. Insert Dan Hull pic. Jim Jams from Halstead have brilliant no-added-sugar and gluten free jams and spreads perfect for kids.

If food and drink is your passion, a visit to the show is a must. We look forward to seeing you there.
