Stephanie Moon, Chef Consultant at Rudding Park and Simon Crannage Executive Head Chef at Swinton Park wowed audiences with live cooking in the Cathedral with tasters to sample.
Celebrity Gardener Martin Fish also offered his wealth of knowledge to visitors who had the opportunity to put questions to a leading expert.

The show was also supported by the Cathedral's  Principal Business Partners CNG, Stratstone BMW and Mini.
