Picture gallery: The Big Feastival

The farm in Oxfordshire hosted cooking demonstrations from chefs including Oliver, Valentine Warner and Simon Rogan at the festival's Big Kitchen area.

Paloma Faith, Noisettes, Texas and Razorlight were among headliners on the music stages, and Oliver even tried his hand at the drums to perform with James on bass.

There was also an artisan food market and children's entertainment in the Little Dudes Den with visits from cartoon character Peppa Pig.

Camping tickets were sold out and day tickets were selling fast when Event spoke to Brand Events last week.

The first Big Feastival took place on Clapham Common in London in 2011, organised by Rouge Events. Brand Events then took over the event, using its food festival experience from running Taste Festivals.

James opened up his farm in September 2011 for Harvest festival, whose promoter Big Wheel Promotions subsequently went into administration.
