A POPULAR food festival is set to return to a Herefordshire town.
Kington's annual Winter Food and Drink Festival is a free event celebrating Herefordshire food and drink and brings visitors to the town every year.
Organisers say it features the very best of what the borders has to offer.
Established in December 2004 with just 15 stands under a marquee in the Plas de Marines, the festival has grown enormously since.
