Marlow Food Festival organiser, Helen Rathbone from Flying Pigs Marketing says: "We were keen to make this a real family event this year so we added a more varied selection of stalls and a carousel and an animal petting corner for our younger visitors. The free entry meant we were busy all day which was great for all the participants."
