The South West is home to some of the UK's most iconic festivals and the new family-friendly English Riviera Food and Music Festival looks set to be up there with the best.

Over the late May bank holiday weekend (May 26-29), Torre Abbey Meadows in Torquay will host an eclectic line-up of music acts and showcase the culinary skills of some of the UK's top chefs. Topping the live music bill are UB40, Razorlight, Scouting For Girls, The Feeling, Rebecca Ferguson, Fleur East, Ben Haenow and The Overtones, with more acts to be announced.

Jude Kereama of Kota in Porthleven and James Tanner of Barbican Kitchen in Plymouth will be representing the South West on the chefs' stage. They'll be joined by a line-up that includes Lesley Waters, Paul Rankin, Nick Nairn, Theo Randall and Ed Baines, who'll be rustling up some of their favourite dishes and sharing kitchen tips and tricks. Festivalgoers with burning culinary questions will get the chance to quiz them during the Q&A sessions.

When not watching the action on stage, visitors can stroll around the festival site to sample delicious street food from a range of creative vendors and pick up quality produce in the daily market village. There'll also be plenty of interactive fun and games for little ones to get stuck into.

Weekend and day tickets are available, priced from £46.50 for adults and £12.50 for children (aged 5-16). Family tickets are also on sale and provide entry for two adults and two children, starting from £109.50.

THE PRIZE Two sets of family weekend tickets. Each ticket includes entry for two adults and two children on all four days of the event.
