Food Matters: Celebrating with an ice cream

The event is on Sunday and will take place at Delph House Farm, near Denby Dale, where all Yummy Yorkshire ice cream is produced by owners Jeremy and Louise Holmes.

Games and activities include an inflatable obstacles course, a giant inflatable slide and the Penistone Young Farmers' ducking stool – a portable stool which dunks people into a large water-filled tank if a ball is thrown and triggers the mechanism to drop the victim.

Ice-cream lovers will be invited to enter a competition to create their own ice cream flavour

The event is from 10.30am to 5pm with free admission and parking.
