This year the festival welcomed Great British Bake Off star James Morton who offered guests some top tips during his baking demonstrations. Visitors also had the opportunity to learn some home cooking secrets from local experts.

New for this year, the festival launched the LOCHtoberfest, where a choice of over 30 locally brewed ales were available for visitors to enjoy throughout the festival.
