Levi will be appearing at this year’s Malton Food Lovers Festival.

For this year’s Malton Food Lovers Festival, Levi joins a line-up including Prue Leith, William Sitwell, Valentine Warner and Diana Henry.

Levi will be doing demonstrations on Saturday, May 23, and also appearing with his band at the inaugural night market where he will be playing tracks from his new album, Rise Above. 

Tom Naylor-Leyland, festival director, said: “Levi Roots will certainly spice up this year’s festival.

“I can’t wait to hear his band at the night market.

“His story is one which is really appropriate for this year as we have introduced the Community Kitchen area. This is a market area for community groups and individuals just starting out.

“I know Levi will have some very wise words to offer our fledgling entrepreneurs. His demonstrations are sure to be popular so we’re advising visitors to book early to avoid disappointment.”

The Malton Food Lovers Festival takes place on May 23 and 24 and will include a food market of more than 160 of Yorkshire’s best producers, retailers and restaurateurs, along with demonstrations, tutored tastings, talks and entertainment.
