Food stalls brimming with produce attracted thousands of visitors from across the region to Bolsover’s first ever Food and Drink Festival

Real ale fans were treated to master classes by world-renowned beer expert Roger Protz, who officially uncorked a new drink, Jewel on the Hill, created by RAW Brewery. Miss England Intercontinental, Laura Gregory, served drinks to the crowds and celebrity chef Aldo Zilli gave cookery demonstrations. It is now hoped that the festival will become a regular event.
