Following the success of the borough's first food festival, tastebuds have started tingling for this year's.

Returning to Painshill Park, Cobham, this September, organisers of the Elmbridge Food Festival are looking for the culinary best to join the event on September 26 and 27.

More than 9,000 people attended the first festival in 2014.

Councillor Christine Cross, portfolio holder for community development, said: "Our first every Elmbridge Food Festival was a stand out success and we want to continue to focus on local producers, restaurants and high quality, artisan food-based businesses based throughout the borough.

"We expect applications to exceed the number of pitches available and we will be selecting stalls based on the criteria on the application forms, so I encourage businesses to register their interest before the closing date of April 17."
