Tickets go on sale at noon today (Monday, May 22) for one of the hottest food and drink festivals in the North West.

The event in Bolton takes place on the August Bank Holiday weekend (August 25 to 28) and features culinary stars Michael Caines, Ainsley Harriott, Channel 4 Sunday Brunch presenter Simon Rimmer and regular festival favourite James Martin.

The event is organised by Bolton Council in association with Aldi. Last year, more than 263,000 people attended and the festival won a coveted national award for having the best food market in the country.

Tickets will be available from Bolton Octagon Theatre, via www.boltonfoodanddrinkfestival.com or by calling 01204 520661. The box office is open 9am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday.
