This August Bank Holiday get yourselves down to the River Cottage Festival for a bucolic weekend of cooking and workshops, yoga and music as well as inspirational speakers, all in that beautiful setting made iconic by the seasonal cookery books and the various TV series.

There’ll be foraging and feasting during the day with River Cottage masterclasses (curry and chapatis anyone or cider brandy tasting?) taking place alongside wild cocktail making. But if that’s all too much effort sign up for one of the seasonal feasts by River Cottage chefs or tuck into tasty street food and grab a deckchair and delight in everything this special spot has to offer.
