Food, craft and wood will be demonstrated and on sale as a popular festival returns this year post-lockdown with even more to offer.
Living Heritage Events is back in Sandringham next week (August 6-8) catching up on lost time with a whole new programme of shows.
This year, the programme includes a new festival, with two of the previous events combined into one.
Named the 'Sandringham food craft and wood festival', Living Heritage believe it has a ‘tremendous’ line up of attractions.
A spokesperson for Living Heritage Events said: “Easter was too early to start our events this year with the Sandringham craft and wood fair, which proved to be successful back in 2019.
“We decided to run the event alongside our popular food and drinks festival this August.”
The event will take place next weekend (Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday August 8) from 10am-6pm.
