Anyone cooked any of the recipes in the workbook or programme? These were given to every visitor to the festival - workbooks went to all under-16s and all programmes to the over-16s.

Each booklet includes recipes, editorials on producers, information and more. If you have one at home, make sure you check out the list of producers and farm shops where you can buy local traders' products year round!

Credit where credit's due... The team that made this year's festival happen all deserve a medal.

Such a huge amount of work goes on behind the scenes to make the festival fun, engaging, functional, safe, informative, and all the rest... And these guys were a huge part of that.

I don't have pictures of everyone - but the full team knows who they are 💪🏻

Thank you! 🧡

We're proud to partner with The Hotel Folk for the Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival and as a little treat ahead of our opening day tomorrow we got a sneak peek of @crownandcastleorford's new afternoon tea. Just the sustenance we needed! The Crown and Castle is a restaurant with 21 bedrooms in the picturesque village of Orford and their new afternoon tea launches from Thursday 10th October. It's quite lovely indeed! 🍰🥪

In exactly one week's time you'll find @2magpiesbakery Ginger Folk biscuits not on the beach in Aldeburgh but at the festival over at Snape Maltings. Two Magpies will be selling their wonderful array of sweet treats and pastries all weekend 😋

When @thesuffolkaldeburgh do streetfood, they do it a bit different. Lobsters, scallops, oysters, steak... It's a feast for the eyes and the stomach.

Back again this year alongside collaborating local restaurants, the guys will be showcasing what they do best at their beautiful coastal Hotel and Restaurant in Aldeburgh.

The team at @thesuffolkaldeburgh also sponsor the festival, allowing us the funds and capacity to get restaurants involved in the festival, showcase the best local chefs, and support food and drink hospitality year round.

@pumpstbakery and @pumpstreetchocolate are returning to the Hoffmann Building with a full chocolate experience... Tastings, talks, drinks, chocolate, pastries... The list of deliciousness goes on.

We're not kidding. We have so much to offer under-16s. Come along and make the most! @wearegrowcookeat are an incredible local charity dedicated to educating young people around how to grow your own food and cook healthy versions of all your favourites, and they will be leading these classes.

Full listings of what's on and when can be found on our website. Come and join us.

Make a holiday of your visit to the festival and book a place to stay with @suffolkhideaways. Their website is full of useful Suffolk Guides and Blogs to offer inspiration on where to stay when. We have a hunch that a weekend stay over the 28/29th September would go down a treat with the family...

Special thanks to the Suffolk Hideaways team for supporting our event. We're hugely grateful
