The new feature, 'Celebrity/Demo Kitchen' will have East Coast Radio jocks, Damon Beard, Jane Linley-Thomas, Darren Maule, Deon Govender, Peter G, and Makhosi Khosa convincing local restaurant chefs to part with their trade secrets. Swiss national, Markus Bänziger, owner of Total Catering Concepts, will be sharing his top cooking tips with show goers from his years of global culinary experience. He has a wealth of knowledge in fine dining from working in international hotels and 5-star establishments.

The Garden Pavilion is back with a Mad Hatters Tea Garden and TV personality and garden expert, Tanya Visser who will be answering gardening questions daily from 11am to 2pm and the Homegrown Fair will display unique arts and crafts by local entrepreneurs.

Old-fashioned crafts and games will be at the Kidz Zone this year. "The theme is 'Good Old Happy Days' and with that in mind we will only be concentrating on playing games, having craft time, playing dress-up with photo shoots, music and drama," says Tina B Wither from Bee Line, who will be coordinating the event together with creative catalysts, Jane Linley-Thomas and award-winning performer, Shelley McLean.
