A TASTY food and drink festival is returning to Ayrshire later this month. 

Tastes of Ayrshire will set up in the courtyard at Dean Castle and Country Park on Sunday, September 29 from 11am to 3pm.

The event is a collaboration between East Ayrshire Leisure and Ayrshire Food an' a' That, and brings together producers from across the region.

A variety of food and drink will be up for grabs in the castle's courtyard on the day.

A spokesperson for East Ayrshire Leisure said: “Join us on Sunday, September 29, between 11am and 3pm as Tastes of Ayrshire once again showcases Ayrshire's finest food and drink to try and buy.

“Enjoy a visit to the beautiful courtyard of Dean Castle, support local suppliers and taste some of our best fresh local produce.”
