This year’s themes feature Edible England and Food From Afar which offers an opportunity to feature artworks on growing food in gardens, allotments and on farms, including original writing such as poems and prose.
Sarah Catterall, the event’s director, said: “As well as welcoming artwork and writing from adults, we're inviting children and young people to create an artwork dream plate using a paper plate.
We'd love to see your favourite food, fruit or vegetable or a complete meal on your dream plate.”

Photographs, art and craft submissions will be displayed on the Heritage Open Days Facebook Page for the duration of the event.
The organisers said in a statement: “Do you have a memory of a wonderful dish your grandma used to make or memories of going potato picking or going fishing?
Do you grow your own food in your garden or allotment or keep hens? Are you an artist and have food and drink-related pieces to show?
