Your Host
Briony May Williams
After years of baking at home and cultivating her creativity and skill, Briony first came to the public’s attention as she launched onto our screens during nine stressful weeks in the tent on the 2018 series of The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4.
Progressing through the competition to the semi-final, Briony’s humour and warmth, coupled with her resilience and ingenuity saw her become a firm favourite with the audience.

The UK's largest under-17 driving school is back at CarFest, and this year, it's bigger than ever.
From age 4 all the way up to 17, there's a driving experience with your name on it. Budding drivers aged 4 to 9 can take the wheel of a fully electric Firefly Sport car for a 10-minute taster session, while 9 to 17 year olds can enjoy 15-minute lessons in real dual-controlled Suzuki Swifts, learning steering, gear changes and manoeuvring alongside a professional instructor.
Fun, exciting and a brilliant way to kick-start safe driving habits for life. The road starts here.
