The winner will be decided by a judging panel made up from local food circles.

Producer and director Hannah Cartledge said: “We felt that York Farmers’ Market had a great vibrancy about it and a real wealth of fresh, local, quality produce on offer. Combined with the beautiful surroundings and character, we just had to include York in the series.”
