Celebrate local produce on a Devon holiday

12th Sep 2012  17:28

Devon holiday cottage guests looking to sample the best food and drink the county has to offer should head to Abbfest later this month.

The event will be taking place near the bustling market town of Newton Abbot from 21st to 23rd September, offering everything from locally brewed beers to homemade fudge.

Visitors will be able to sample artisan chocolates from Caprine Capers, gourmet pies from the Dartmoor Kitchen, jams and chutneys from the Kitchen Garden and much more.

All of this can be washed down with a glass or two of farmhouse cider or Devonshire ale.

There will be stalls selling locally made crafts as well, with silver jewellery, candles, handmade soaps, glassware and shopping bags just some of the items on offer.

But it doesn't stop there, as entertainment will also be provided in the form of chef demonstrations, live music and a giant quiz on the final day of the festival.

Tickets for Abbfest, which is held at Fermoy's Garden Centre on Totnes Road, need to be purchased in advance and cost £5.50 per person for the whole weekend.
