Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge's touring food and music festival will come to Roundhay Park for the first time from May 31 - June 2.

On stage will be artists such as Will Young, Basement Jaxx, Toploader, Scouting for Girls and Tom Odell - but the Michelin-starred chefs are also a major attraction on the bill.

They'll run pop-up restaurants showcasing their cuisine and give live cookery demonstrations.

Tommy Banks, who in 2013 became the youngest chef in the country to receive a Michelin star, will be bringing his two businesses, gastropub The Black Swan at Oldstead and small plates restaurant Roots in York, to the festival site.

He'll be joined by Andrew Pern, who runs The Star Inn at Harome and its York sister site The Star Inn the City, and James Mackenzie, owner of The Pipe and Glass in South Dalton, near Beverley.
