The Great Wight Bite will return to the Island this weekend (September 7 and 8).

The food festival, returning to Northwood House for its second year, will see a mix of demonstrations, masterclasses and pop-up restaurants.

Among those appearing across the weekend are broadcasters Chris Bavin, Helena Nicklin and Valentine Warner. 

Speaking to the County Press, Valentine said: "The Isle of Wight has got lots of delicious fish, amazing garlic and wonderful tomatoes, so I'm very much going to be snooping around in those areas."
