If you love strolling around outside, listening to live music while chomping into artisan pizzas and scoffing huge burgers with sauce that drips down your arms, you'll certainly want to attend a few of these food festivals over the coming months.

There are plenty of events happening this summer for you and your family to tuck into.

So, book your tickets, slap on the sunblock and get ready to eat.

Here are our top ten food festival suggestions.

1. Malton Food Lovers Festival, Yorkshire, May 26-27

Ticket price: Free entry

Yorkshire lad Tommy Banks, head chef at The Black Swan at Oldstead - and voted world's best restaurant in the 2017 TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Restaurants Awards - is headlining this year's Malton Food Festival. See him cook live, before eating your way round stalls piled high with Yorkshire produce. Have a dance at the festival bar too, dipping in and out of the late night street food on offer.

KERB dominates the street food scene in London, bringing together individual traders and launching eclectic markets across the capital - Jam On Rye is their first proper festival. South London's finest MCs and reggae artists will be supported by the foodie likes of Breddos Tacos (you'll get through piles of them), Club Mexicana (for vegan fare) and Only Jerkin' (order the triple-dunked ginger beer battered nuggets).

3. Vegan Summer Fest Brighton, The Level, June 2-3

Ticket price: From £5.60

Sometimes, being vegan, you can feel a little left out at festivals where burgers and outdoor grilling are high on the agenda. So, head to Brighton's vegan fest for more than 100 foodie stalls dedicated to the plant-based life.

5. Jimmy's Festival, Ipswich, July 21-22

6. Wilderness, Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire, August 2-5

Ticket price: From £179.50

It's all about banqueting in style at Wilderness Festival - especially as TV chef, restaurant owner and food writer Yotam Ottolenghi will be in the kitchen. If you can't nab a much-coveted seat though, there's endless feasting opportunities, whether you're a carnivore (Berber & Q, Patty & Bun) or animal free (try a huge Homeslice pizza or Petersham Nurseries' seasonal vegetarian menus).
