Two very special guests are back at the Powderham festival to host inspiring talks and tastings from food and drink producers from Devon in our Food and Drink Devon marquee in the Castle Courtyard.

Food writer extraordinaire Mark Diacono, Devon based author of so many wonderful food books who combines writing with walking, cooking, gardening, and photography is back to share his passion for eating, growing, writing and talking about food.

His Friday afternoon talk on cocktails should be something very special.

At his side presenting the two full days of talks which bring together many great speakers covering Devon food and drink is Susy Atkins, a familiar face to food and wine lovers, wine columnist for the Daily Telegraph and regular presenter on BBC 1’s cookery show Saturday Kitchen.
