Tina Allwork, owner of Hi-T's Fudge, who is organising the event along with local food producers Yarty Valley Cordials and Langage Farm, says: 'We are delighted with the number of chefs wanting to get involved with cookery demonstrations and interactive sessions where the public can join them.
'Everyone is really enthusiastic and excited about this new event and we have every faith that it is going to be a fabulous day for all.'
The new event is being held in aid of the Children's Hospice South West's Precious Lives Appeal which is raising funds to build a third children's hospice for the region.
Jason Hornbuckle said: 'Having worked with Children's Hospice South West for three years now, through Lewtrenchard Manor charity lunches, I jumped at the chance of being involved with the Eat the Devon Way event.
'It's a great opportunity to showcase the fabulous local produce from this area of the West Country and also a wonderful fun way of raising awareness for such a fabulous local charity.
'The event is sure to be a fabulous weekend of fun for all the family.'
