Harrogate Food and Drink Festival will return this bank holiday weekend.
The festival, which was held on the Stray in Harrogate in June, will be held in the grounds of Ripley Castle from Saturday to Monday, with a variety of street food vendors, market stalls, live music and activities.
People will be able to enjoy cuisines from across the world including Greek, Mexican and Indian-style street food.
There will be Asian dishes, such as sushi and bao buns, as well as a taste of home with a hogroast and Yorkshire pudding wraps.
Activities across the weekend will range from a scavenger hunt and cooking classes to axe throwing and an improvised comedy show.
There will be live music throughout the weekend, including performances from East Street Band, U2 tribute act, U2 2, and Knuckle Fuzz, a rock cover band based in Yorkshire.

Alongside the music, there will be live cooking demonstrations from midday until 3:40pm each day.
The Great British Bake Off contestant Sandy Docherty will make an appearance on Saturday, and Kurtus Auty, who appeared in BBC's Masterchef the Professionals, will host a demonstration on Sunday.
Chefs from across North Yorkshire will also take part in live cooking shows, including executive pastry chef at Grantley Hall, Stefan Rose, Three’s A Crowd's head chef, Matthew Casey, and culinary director at the Mill Group, Jon Appleby.
According to the festival’s website, the event will be a “family-friendly celebration of international influence and local talent.”
The festival will be raising money for local mental health charity, Mind in Harrogate, over the weekend.
