Foodies flocked to Great Malvern at the weekend to sample some of the best produce the county has to offer.
Priory Park was filled with a wide range of food and drink stalls for the annual Great Malvern Food Festival.
The free event, organised by Malvern Hills District Council, featured live cookery demonstrations on the bandstand, street entertainers and activities for children.
The weekend was a hugely successful one for two Malvern-based bakeries, Bakes by Gee and Three Bears Bakery, who both managed to sell out completely on both Saturday and Sunday.
Three Bears Bakery said on Facebook: “What a weekend! We’ve had an absolute blast! Thank you sooo much for the overwhelming support as always. Now we’re off to chill with the Three Bears.”

Bakes by Gee said: “Malvern, Malvern, Malvern. My God you have completely outdone yourselves again. We are officially sold out! Not bad for the new kids on the block ey?”
Other stalls also reported a successful weekend including Wychbold Fudge, which sells homemade fudge made using Droitwich salt.
Adam and Joseph Beck said they’d had a “very good” weekend and that Saturday was particularly busy.
Simon Ward of Kenilworth-based The Little Garlic Plate said the Great Malvern festival was among his favourites - adding that he also enjoyed visiting Pershore.

“I’ve seen a lot of regulars, had a lot of new customers and there've been a lot of holidaymakers.
“This is always one of our favourite festivals as it’s so local to us.”
