00:00Beth V, what happens to find you up on this lovely quarry field, what are you up to?

00:07Well, we're just setting up for the food festival, so...

00:09I'm never a guest!

00:11So we've started hanging out with some giant food.

00:13This weekend we've got 200 local food, drink exhibitors, homes and gardens.

00:17We've got two live entertainment stages.

00:21We've got a chef's school, so you can come and have a go, cook along with some local chefs.

00:25You can come and watch some people demonstrating.

00:27We've got a massive area full of free kids activities.

00:31It's an absolutely huge festival, so if you've not been before,

00:35you can expect the fact that we're using up most of the quarry park in Shrewsbury.

00:39It's going to be good weather, there's absolutely loads to see, do, buy, enjoy.

00:44It's a whole day out for the whole family.

00:46So if you like to eat, you like to drink, you like to watch live music, you like to have fun,

00:49this is the place you need to be.

00:51And how are you coping, setting up in this heat?

00:53It's hot and sweaty, can you not tell how hot and sweaty I'm looking?

00:56It is hot, it's hard.

00:58But the team are doing an amazing job.

01:00I guess you'd rather have it this way than the other, wouldn't you?

01:03I can cope with a bit of sunshine if it means we can keep the rain away,

01:05and the forecast is looking good.

01:07People can still buy tickets at shrewsburyfoodfestival.co.uk

01:10or you can buy them on the gate when you arrive.
