A LOGO which symbolises both Tavistock and local food and drink products is being sought for the forthcoming Food and Drink Festival in the town.

Tavistock Business Association is holding a competition to find a logo for the event, which will take place in the Pannier Market on Saturday, July 31 and Sunday, August 1.

The competition is open to all ages, with entries being judged by the festival committee.

A prize of £100 will be presented in person by Peter Gorton from the Horn of Plenty.

Entries must be received by March 30 and should be sent to the festival chairman at Woodland View, Devon Consols, Tavistock, PL19 8DE or e-mailed to [email protected]">[email protected]

More than 60 applications to exhibit at the festival have already been received, and there will be a farmers? market on both days.

Cream teas will be served in the town hall, and there will be a full programme of cookery demonstrations by a number of local celebrity chefs.
