The Great Yorkshire Showground's farm shop café is set to host a festival of food, drink, live music, and shopping.

Dubbed the Fodder Fiesta, the family event will take place on Saturday, August 17 from 4pm to 8pm at the Fodder café.

The café will be open as usual until 3pm.

Vanessa Pitt, manager of Fodder, said: "This is our very first Fodder Fiesta and we are excited to open for an afternoon and early evening of great food, drinks and music.

"We look forward to welcoming you!”

Part of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, Fodder is the only farm shop café of its kind where all profits go back to charity.
