My goodness, what a programme of events and great chefs - both local and celebrity!
Hot off the press...
Tom Parker-Bowles and Matthew Fort are our after dinner speakers at a Festival Gala Dinner at the Dart Marina Hotel that will doubtless be memorable. The night starts with a champagne reception then moves on to a 5-course menu from head chef, Tom Woods, with carefully picked wines for each course. Recently refurbished, the River Restaurant has breathtaking scenery from every window. Tickets are £100 to include champagne reception, dinner, wines and entertainment. The Dart Marina are very generously donating a large percentage of the ticket price to the Festival so dig out your glad rags now and e-mail
