Artisan groceries, street foods and arts and crafts will all feature in this week's free Deal Food & Drink Festival.

The festival, organised by Zoom Events, will return to Deal Castle for three days this week.

Running from Friday, September 3 to Sunday, September 5, it returns after being scaled down to a late summer market in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Set on the promenade, the street food selection includes souvlaki, fajitas, burritos, churros, Ethiopian style barbecue chicken, smoked meats, arepas, crepes and oriental dishes.

Live music to listen to while you browse and eat will include Rudy Warman and The Heavy Weather, Katie Bradley & David Ferra, Harripaul, Ian Fox, Rhythm Shack and Acoustix. There will also be children's rides.

It will be open from noon to 7pm on the Friday; 10am to 7pm on the Saturday and 11am to 5pm on the Sunday.
