The Derbyshire Food and Drink Festival 2011 was held at Hardwick Hall on 21/22 May. This is now turning into an mini unadvertised beer festival with with approximately 14 real ales and ciders from Derventio, Brampton, Spire and Natterjack not to mention lager from the local Freedom brewery. Well worth a visit next year if you fancy a tipple while your partner buys the jams and pickles.
