A TASTY treat is being served up this autumn with the return of the Craft Bakers and Butchers Extravaganza at the Great Yorkshire Showground.

And for only the second time in its 29-year history, the Great Yorkshire Pork Pie, Sausage and Products Competition forms part the attractions at the Harrogate venue on Sunday, October 8.

When first held in Harrogate two years ago, the Great Yorkshire Competition was thrown open nationwide to butchers, farm shops and bakers who make relevant meat-related products in their own premises.

It attracted almost 300 entries from 60 individual contestants.

The 2017 contest again features three pork pie classes and three sausage classes, from which supreme champions and reserve supreme champions will emerge. There are also black pudding and beef burger competition classes.
