Each September since 1997, York has held an annual Festival of Food and Drink.
The aim of the festival is to spotlight food culture in York and North Yorkshire by promoting local food production.
The Festival attracts up to 150,000 visitors over 10 days, from all over the country.

In the centre of York, in St Helen's Square, there is the York branch of Bettys Café Tea Rooms.
Bettys' founder, Frederick Belmont, travelled on the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary in 1936.
He was so impressed by the splendour of the ship that he employed the Queen Mary's designers and craftsmen to turn a dilapidated furniture store in York into an elegant café in St Helen's Square.
A few years after Bettys opened in York war broke out, and the basement 'Bettys Bar' became a favourite haunt of the thousands of airmen stationed around York. '
Bettys Mirror', on which many of them engraved their signatures with a diamond pen, remains on display today as a tribute to them.
