Hull City Centre is set to host its 2nd 3 day Global Food Festival from the 22nd- 24th August 2008. With a main event stage, marquees and markets as well as a complete programme of entertainment, there really will be something for everyone!

Celebrity chef and host of BBC2's Ready Steady Cook, Ainsley Harriott, will be the taking to the main stage on the Saturday of the festival, creating mouth-watering dishes and sharing expert hints and tips.

Last year's event proved to be huge success with around 100,000 extra visitors flocking to the centre of Hull to grab a taste of the action. This year's line-up of chefs, exhibitors, demonstrators and stall holders promises to be just as impressive, showcasing the best in local produce and global cuisine.

For the duration of the festival, the centre of Hull will be transformed into a bustling hub of activity with several key locations hosting markets, demonstrations, speciality produce and, of course, giving away free samples!

The festival offers a great time for all the family in the run up to the August bank holiday, with the markets providing a range of products from around the world and a series of events on the main stage that are just too good to miss!

If you want to be a part of this fantastic event then we'd love to hear from you.
