Food lovers are in for a treat as some of the North West’s most talented culinary stars prepare to take to the stage at this year’s Bolton Food and Drink Festival.

The festival’s Regional Chefs Theatre will showcase a packed programme of free live demonstrations from acclaimed chefs, bakers, hospitality professionals and food influencers across the four-day event.
The line-up includes celebrated chef Michael Caines, television favourite Kwoklyn Wan, award-winning chef Simon Wood, and returning festival favourite Andrew George, alongside a host of regional talent.
Visitors will have the chance to pick up expert tips, discover new recipes and watch some of the region’s leading culinary names in action.
The demonstrations will run throughout the festival weekend, offering visitors the opportunity to hear from established chefs, rising culinary stars and passionate food experts from across the region.
