The full programme has been unveiled for this year's Harrogate Food and Drink Festival, with organisers promising the event's biggest and most diverse line-up to date.
The sixth annual festival returns to The Stray this Saturday and Sunday (27th/28th June), bringing together live music, street food, cookery demonstrations, family entertainment and more than 90 independent traders.
Among the headline acts on the Main Stage are The UB40 Experience, performing on Saturday evening, and The Soul Shebang, who take to the stage on Sunday.
Visitors can also enjoy live performances from local musicians, bands and community groups throughout the weekend.
The Cookery Theatre will feature 12 live demonstrations hosted by chef Stephanie Moon, with appearances from a range of chefs, restaurant owners and food experts from across the region.
Elsewhere, Matthew J Magic will host the Live Entertainment Stage with family-friendly magic, circus and comedy shows, alongside free circus skills workshops running throughout the day.
New for this year is the Sizzling Showdown Arena, where comedian Neil Frost will host a series of interactive shows including the Foodie Olympics, a family dog show, a chilli challenge and bingo.
Families will also find plenty to keep children entertained, with new attractions including the Viking Heritage Kitchen and Target Paintball, alongside roaming entertainers, stilt walkers, Ian's Mobile Farm and live bubble shows.
Visitors can also take part in the Foodie Clue Quest Scavenger Hunt or enjoy free colouring activities in the Scribble Tent.
Food remains at the heart of the festival, with 18 independent street food vendors serving dishes inspired by cuisines from around the world, including Venezuela, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Brazil, China and Jamaica.
A range of independent bars will also be serving cocktails, craft drinks, ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks, while Vocation Brewery returns with its ale house offering draught beers.
More than 90 local businesses will also be showcasing artisan food, drink, crafts, homeware and gifts across the festival's market area.
Harrogate Mind has once again been named as the festival's charity partner, with organisers hoping to build on the £178,000 already raised for Mind charities across England.
