HUNDREDS attended the first two days of a popular Highland food festival.

Returning for the third edition, Taste of Nairn saw a constant flow of people gathering at the Nairn Community and Arts Centre on Friday evening and today, with a market area opening today.

Around 25 stalls were in the room, with local producers of food, drinks and crafts in attendance.

Nairn BID manager Lucy Harding said: "It's going really well so far, it's a very active day with many people coming through the door.

"The idea of Taste of Nairn came from a local restaurateur who said 'why don't we showcase all that is good about food and drink in Nairn and it has grown and grown every year to include more elements tat represent a taste of Nairn." "

Over the day events were held all around the town, with music and the Havelock and at the Bandstand – where they held a Senegal-inspired day.

Today the market will be open again with cooking demonstrations on and a royal-themed cake competition to which all the community is invited .

A wellness hub will also be going on over the day for anyone to join taster sessions organised by Highland Yoga Collective.

According to some of the businesses, this year the event looked busier than the previous editions.
