Sample delicious dishes to a live soundtrack at the Colne Valley Food and Music Festival, in Denham.

Live musicians will play through the afternoon as you nibble some tasty treats and classic dishes rustled up by top chefs, and sample some local produce.

There will also be cookery demos, and plenty of children’s activities.

Parking is £2.50 per car and there is no entrance fee for the festival. Many of the attractions are also free.

Event parking will be in Priory Meadow off Old Mill Road. Follow the signs from the Denham roundabout.

Those who want to take the scenic route can walk along the Grand Union Canal from Uxbridge, next to the Swan and Bottle pub, and the festival will be signposted just before Denham Deep Lock.
