Now in it's third year the annual Valentine event has had to budge up a bit and will be held at Paintworks on the Sunday 10th February this year, to make room for two other fantastic food event happening close by.

The food loving festival will provide visitors with the opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day with the family and buy gifts for loved ones or ingredients for that special meal in the huge indoor 'Love Food market'.

There'll be a fantastic array to choose from including sumptuous steaks, local chilli sauce, gorgeous cakes, unctuous cheeses, handmade chocolates and some stunning wines.

There'll even be the opportunity to buy one of Maggie's famous heart shaped pork pies!

The 10th of February also happens to be Chinese New Year so Love Food have invited some fantastically spicy street food vendors to join the party.

Viet Vite will be serving up authentic Vietnamese food such as Pho Ga and Banh Mi and Niangs Thai Snacks will be rocking up with their incredible green curry and chicken satay.

Others who will be joining in include the legendary Gaucho BBQ, Agnes Spencers Jerk Chicken and the lovely folk from Native Breeds with their gourmet hot-dogs.

If that wasn't reason enough to get together for a food celebration, it is also Pancake Day on the 12th and Love Food will be running pancake-making sessions so you'll be flipping brilliant on the big day.

Young food lovers will, as always have a thoroughly enjoyable day in their dedicated area with a whole host of hands on activities such as origami hearts, Valentines cards, Chinese lanterns, paper flower making, face painting, planting, drawing and much more.

With a local cider bar, hot street food, afternoon tea, English sparkling wine, an oyster bar, lively music and a livelier atmosphere, this is a day guaranteed to chase away any winter blues that may be lurking around.
