THE Oxford Castle Food and Wine festival gets under way this weekend.
More than 10,000 people are expected to descend on the site where they will be greeted with food stalls, live cooking demos, wine tasting and recipe swaps.
Lord Mayor Elise Benjamin will be in attendance and expects it to be as successful as last year’s. She said: “I know there is a new interest in cooking over the last few years so I am looking forward to sharing and learning some new recipes."
The free festival will be promoting local producers while providing a treat for the tastebuds.
Raymond Blanc and wine expert Susy Atkins are opening the two day event on Saturday.
