FROM mozzarella sticks, to macaroni cheese, food fans will be in their element when a festival returns next weekend.
Last year more than 2,500 people descended upon the Cheese Fest at Colchester’s Charter Hall.
Now the festival is back – and at a new venue. This year the event takes place on Saturday, March 2, at Five Lakes in Tolleshunt D’Arcy.
Organisers are promising more vendors, more cheese, more live music and more cooking demonstrations.
This year the event is in conjunction with 30 years of Wallace and Gromit.
A spokesman said: "Expect the most incredible melted delights and delicious cheese-based cuisine presented for your culinary pleasure by the finest fromagers from across the land.
"Experience some of the greatest cheeses in the world with melted raclette, gooey mozzarella sticks, top notch toasties, and a whole host of unique slices and cheese innovations from the UK’s best traders.
The festival will have a jam packed programme of feasting and entertainment hosted by the world’s most famous cheese ambassadors Wallace & Gromit.
Kids can enjoy model making, life-size vehicles, film screenings of popular Wallace and Gromit movies, and a meet and greet with Wallace and Gromit themselves.
Food fans can register for tickets now at www.cheesefestuk.com/essex.
