Tickets now on sale for BBC Summer Good Food Show

Beat the winter blues and book a ticket to the BBC Summer Good Food Show, returning to the NEC Birmingham from 16-20 June 2010. Tickets are now on sale for the Show that brings you everything you need for a sensational summer of fine dining, seasonal treats, refreshing drinks and perfect picnics.

We’ll have plenty of familiar faces giving live cooking demonstrations in the Summer Kitchen, including the Hairy Bikers and James Martin, along with Saturday Kitchen’s favourite wine guru, Olly Smith hosting the sessions.

The Producers’ Village will be back with some of the finest seasonal and regional produce to treat your taste buds, and you’ll be able to sample refreshing wines and cool cocktails in the Drinks section. For those who love the amber nectar, Tasting Beers Live will be returning to the Show (Friday – Sunday) to help you find the perfect accompaniment to those sizzling summer barbecues.

NEW! for 2010 - the MasterChef Experience was a huge success at the London and Birmingham Good Food Shows last November and now it’s coming to the BBC Summer Good Food Show. Pick up tips from your favourite chefs from the series, take part in masterclasses, watch live cook-offs and if you think you have what it takes you can even show off your culinary skills in the all new Invention Test.

Included in the ticket price is entry to BBC Gardeners’ World Live, which takes place alongside the BBC Summer Good Food Show. Here you’ll find all you need to get your garden looking gorgeous for alfresco dining during the long summer evenings. Pick up tips from top TV gardeners such as Alan Titchmarsh and Toby Buckland, delight in the aromas and beautiful displays in the RHS Floral Marquee sponsored by Renault and be inspired by the award-winning Show gardens.  Plus you’ll really enjoy our new Grow your own Garden sponsored by NS&I where you can pick up tips from experts such as Jekka McVikkar on growing herbs.

Everyone loves summer – so book your tickets now for a delicious day out.
