Bidwells Norwich and Norfolk Food Festival ended last night after eight days, raising thousands of pounds for the Parkinsons Disease Society.

Young farmers displayed model farms and 4,000 local sausages were considered for the Battle of the Bangers competition.

Moveable Feast involved 18 restaurants hosting different courses for roving diners, while the new Great Norfolk Food Debate, featuring Dr David Pencheon, director for the NHS Sustainability Unit, involved a spirited debate on GM foods and supermarkets.

VisitNorwich is inviting businesses interested in taking part in the 2009 competition to call 01603 727979.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
