Foodies flocked to Great Malvern at the weekend to sample some of the best produce the county has to offer.

Priory Park was filled with a wide range of food and drink stalls for the annual Great Malvern Food Festival.

The free event, organised by Malvern Hills District Council, featured live cookery demonstrations on the bandstand, street entertainers and activities for children.

The weekend was a hugely successful one for two Malvern-based bakeries, Bakes by Gee and Three Bears Bakery, who both managed to sell out completely on both Saturday and Sunday.

Three Bears Bakery said on Facebook: “What a weekend! We’ve had an absolute blast! Thank you sooo much for the overwhelming support as always. Now we’re off to chill with the Three Bears.”
