Councillor Adam Grist, Portfolio Holder for Market Towns and Rural Economy, said: “We are rightly proud of the great variety of quality food and drink businesses on offer in Louth, and it will be brilliant to hold a festival that celebrates and shares these with both residents and visitors alike.

I would encourage any business who might be interested to get in touched and get involved with making the festival a fantastic celebration for the whole of Louth.”
