A GASTRONOMIC gala is returning to Rugby town centre this weekend.
The town’s Spring Food and Drink Festival takes place in and around Regent Street on Saturday (April 26).
Around 50 stalls will offer food and drink from local businesses, farms and producers.
The free event will also feature a funfair, circus skills, a bouncy castle, a children’s show, face painting and spoon carving workshops.
Live music, performed at St Andrew’s Church Gardens and on Bank Street, will include a Rock Choir, The Big Sing, Joe Davis, David Newman, James Kirkland, Sam Flack, Izzie Porter, Rosie and Ben, Josh Ireson, Robert Miles Barnett, Steve Litten and The Boat Rats.
Rugby First Business Director Linda Lowne said: “As always, the event has proved very popular with stallholders and is now fully booked.
“Several thousand people are expected to attend the event which promises to provide a huge range of tasty treats for everyone.
“The event will also have a significant impact on the town centre economy by increasing footfall, raising awareness of town centre businesses and increasing spend.”
