BBC Good Food Show Scotland 2014 closes its doors after another successful year

The BBC Good Food Show Scotland closed on Sunday having welcomed more than 19,000 through the doors over the weekend.

Over the course of the weekend the Supertheatre sponsored by Kenwood hosted an impressive 18 cookery demonstrations from some of the nation's best loved chefs including Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood and James Martin, with these demonstrations being viewed by over 15,000 visitors.

Other features included the Interview Stage sponsored by Lakeland which saw 22 interviews with a range of chefs and experts including Tom Kitchin, John Torode, Ajmal Mushtaq and Christina Conte. The stage was hosted by Lotte Duncan giving visitors the opportunity to get their burning questions answered.

With more exhibitors than last year, visitors had a wide range of products to taste, browse and buy with various speciality areas including the brand new Eat well Pavillion, the Bakes & Cakes Village and the Producers' Village.

The Producers' Bursary Awards saw the BBC Good Food Shows team scour the UK and Ireland to find the most outstanding artisan food and drink producers. Visitors to the BBC Good Food Shows were able to meet, taste and buy from the well-deserved winners - The Hebridean Food Company, Plan Bee, Scotia Spice Foods and Helens Herbs.

Many exhibitors sold out of products only confirming visitors had enjoyed a great shopping day out at the show.
