Thousands of people are descending on the city this weekend as the brilliant Southsea Food Festival makes a return.

Recently named Event of the Year at The News’ Portsmouth Business Awards, the free festival takes place this weekend (July 4 and 5) and has more than 100 traders taking part to honour the Portsmouth 100 celebrations, marking the centenary since the city was granted city status.

Visitors have been enjoying live music, family entertainment and a wide mix of food and drink, from street food to local produce at the stalls set up on Palmerston, Clarendon and Osborne roads as well as Avenue De Caen, taking place from 10am to 5pm on both days.
