Mary Berry and Alan Titchmarsh are returning to Chatsworth Country Fair

The three-day event, running from September 1 to 3, offers hot air balloon flights, mounted games, stunt team and daring acrobatics. JCB Dancing Diggers return with their mechanical choregraphy while the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery Four Gun Musical Drive will demonstrate high speed manouevres.

Renowned chefs Dame Mary Berry and Matt Tebbutt will host live cookery demonstrations alongside local talent including Adam Harper, executive chef at Chatsworth’s Cavendish Hotel, Baslow. Their shows will be complemented by a selection of local food and drink from several of the region’s best producers.

Broadcaster and gardener Alan Titchmarsh MBE will return to Chatsworth as this year’s country fair president. Alan’s longstanding relationship with Chatsworth makes him the ideal candidate to take up the role for this 40th anniversary event. He’ll be welcoming visitors to the fair each day, and signing copies of his new book Chatsworth, The Gardens and the People Who Made Them, which launches at the show.
