An Ayrshire food and drink festival is back for its third year.

The award-winning Ballantrae Festival of Food and Drink will take place at the village's harbour on Sunday, June 10.

Top flight chefs will be there to pass on their skills, including a "Ready Steady Cook" demonstration by Scott Gilmour from Seamill Hydro, Adam McKissock from Dumfries House and David Alexander from Glenapp Castle.

Siobhan Liddington chairwoman of the Ballantrae Food Strategy Group said: "This year, as well as continuing to improve the visitor experience on the Sunday with the range of produce on offer and a greater emphasis on local food, drink and professional expertise with the help of two of our festival partners, we are introducing two additional events to ensure a truly memorable weekend.

"On the Friday evening the Ballantrae Smugglers' Festival is producing an event for the whole family entitled Music, Poetry and Smuggling Stories.

"On the Saturday at the Edible Cinema at Culzean Country Park, the audience will experience cinema in a unique way through aroma, texture and taste. There will be one film for adults and one for children."
