Travel writer Natalie Paris at The Telegraph said: "At the heart of the festival is the family meadow, where tractor-loving kids can marvel at the ride-on farm machinery, build lobster pots, make music or practice their cooking.

"New for this year is a seafood stage, offering demos, talks and crab-peeling competitions.
