Whether you're a keen foodie, a lover of fine art, or simply looking for an autumn day out in the country, the 2010 Hampton Festival is sure to be a feast for the senses.

Signature dishes from the region's best restaurants, boutique wines, cooking demonstrations and artisan products like sourdough breads and preserves will be for sale alongside local seasonal produce. The work of artists living within a 50km radius of Hampton will be on display and for sale at the Art Exhibition while art displays, demonstrations and activities will be happening throughout the day.

The Festival will present two stages of continuous live entertainment with jazz dive Grace Knight headlining a jam-packed musical program.  Celebrity chefs Alastair McLeod (TVs Ready Steady Cook, Brett’s Wharf executive chef) and Matt Golinksi (TV’s Ready Steady Cook, Slow Food Australia) will team up for cooking demonstrations throughout the day.

Quirky street performers will be roving throughout the park and a Creative Kids Space will feature face painting, instrument making, puppetry and drama.

There's something for everyone at the festival, so kick back, and enjoy a fantastic day in the High Country.
