Organisers of the Chester Food, Drink and Lifestyle Festival were delighted with the turnout for the 2014 event.

Held over the Easter weekend, in association with Allington Hughes Law, the festival benefited from the best weather of the year so far.

Stars of the show included Sunday Brunch star and Cheshire celebrity chef Simon Rimmer, local chef Dave Mooney and BBQ expert Clover Hutson.

More than 170 exhibitors took part and more than 30 cooking demonstrations were held over the three-day event with six children’s cooking classes daily.
