Dartmouth Food Festival

One of the South West's best-loved food weekends, set against the River Dart with more than 100 producers and a packed line-up of chefs, wine seminars and tastings. It's free to simply wander and graze, so you can dip in for an afternoon or make a full weekend of it without spending a penny beyond what you buy.

Book ahead for the ticketed masterclasses and tastings if there's a particular chef or producer you want to catch — the free stalls alone are plenty for a good day out.
