Countryside Food Festival: things to see

The festival opens for general admittance at 10am and our energiser yoga session begins. Bring your mat between 9.30am and 9.45am for free festival admission and to join in this yoga session for all levels, led by Emma Cole. This year's festival also has a number of vegan food vendors (including delicious All Out Food burgers, Cakes Free From and fantastic fruit and veg from Greener Greens).

Husband and wife team and founders of Nutfield-based Hedges & Hurdles, Lorraine and Paul Matthews are passionate about sharing their knowledge and skills with others, encouraging people to discover a new found love for nature and the outdoors. They will be showcasing these skills at the festival and offering opportunities to try them for yourself. 

Swooping into this year’s festival will be First Class Falconry. Run by Alan Greenhalgh, who has a life-long passion for birds of prey and had his first kestrel when he was 12 years old, he has a first class team of birds including falcons, owls, hawks and an eagle. Displays will take place at 1.15pm and 3.15pm - and, for a donation to Macmillan Cancer Support, you will be able to meet the birds under the eagle eye of their expert falconer.

You'll be able to meet Shetland ponies Biscuit (pictured) and Fergus and their friends from 2pm. Normally based just up the road in Kingswood, Kingswood Shetlands provide animal assisted therapy in hospitals, nursing homes, schools and nurseries around the county and at their own woodland setting. Tickets to pet Kingswood Shetlands' animals will be £2, and can be bought in advance on the gate. 

Serenading the crowds at this year's food festival will be Oxted Brass Band, who will be performing from 11.15am to 2.15pm. Established in 1901, they will provide the perfect backdrop for sampling delicious food and drink. The afternoon will then feature roaming acoustic musicians. Keep an eye out for the busking buckets, as all the proceeds will go to Macmillan Cancer Support. 

Look out for the arrival of the classic cars at this year's Countryside Food Festival - there will be plenty of opportunity to talk to the owners, who have given their time and cars for free. Please say thanks by donating in the Macmillan Cancer Support buckets.

At Local Food Britain's Countryside Food Festival we will have a small collection of vintage tractors, one of which is around 100 years old, to peruse while you walk among the food and drink stalls. They have kindly been leant to us from a private collection.
