A new food festival by celebrity chef Tom Kerridge has taken over a popular Marlow Park.

Pub in the Park returned to Higginson Park yesterday (Thursday) after making its debut last year and will continue until May 20.

The festival sold 40,000 tickets in just 24 hours after tickets went on sale earlier this year and last year all 10,000 tickets sold out in 24 hours prompting Mr Kerridge to take the festival national – going to Bath, Tunbridge Wells and Knutsford this year.

Foodies will be treated to the culinary talents of Mr Kerridge, along with Josh Eggleton and Atul Kocchar, and will be entertained by Mel C, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Razorlight.
