FOOD and drink from around the North-East will come under the spotlight at a culinary festival this weekend.
The second Northumbria Food Festival will be held at the Gateshead Millennium Bridge on Saturday and Sunday.
Leading chef Terry Laybourne and other top cooks will hold a series of cookery demonstrations, while up to 50 stallholders will be displaying their wares.
Northumbria Larder is the regional speciality food group comprising small independent foot and drink producers in Durham, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and Tees Valley.
It was set up in 2001 following the foot-and-mouth outbreak, which caused the cancellation of most of the farmers' markets in the North-East.
Admission to the festival is free. It runs from 10am to 6pm on Saturday and 10.30am to 5.30pm on Sunday.
