Several local businesses have stepped in to support Ottery Food and Families Festival as sponsors.

The food festival will take place on Saturday, September 14, from 10am to 6pm, offering a free day full of food, drink, entertainment, and fun.

A festival spokesperson said: "One of our core values is that the festival is free to visit with a variety of free entertainment so that anyone in our community can come along no matter what their situation.

"But it still costs a lot to put it on, which means we rely on sponsors, advertising, and donations."

This year's sponsors include Otter Garden Centres, Otter Brewery, The Pig at Combe, Kings Manor, Hall and Scott, Osteo & Physio in Ottery, Exe Mortgages, Gilbert & Stephens Solicitors, and Connexion Software.

Ottery St Mary Town Council and East Devon National Landscape also provided grants.

The spokesperson added: "So we'd like to thank this year's sponsors, many of whom have been with us from the first event, for making this year's festival possible."

Anyone who wants to make a donation to support the festival can do so on the festival's crowdfunder page: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/2024-ottery-food-families-festival.
