Harvest At Jimmy's takes place from September 11th-12th. For more information, and to book tickets, visit harvestatjimmys.com. When Red’s music editor, Jo Whiley, raves about a festival, you know it must be good – and she’s currently raving about Harvest At Jimmy's which is taking place on the 11-12th September. Whiley visited the Suffolk food and music extravaganza last year with her family, and she loved it so much that she’s coming back in 2010 as one of the performers, playing a DJ set on the main stage. 'It’s just like a fete, a farm to take your kids to and then have fantastic music as well – it’s great,' she says. Don’t miss your chance to join her at Harvest At Jimmy's. Tickets for the two-day festival are nearly sold out, but 200 have been released today only for Red readers – so you need to move fast. As you’d expect from foodie Jimmy Doherty – of Jimmy’s Farm TV fame – the festival has a mouthwatering menu of things to eat. Thomasina Miers is taking her Mexican treats, there’ll be a River Cottage Canteen, Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett will give cooking demonstrations and a farmers’ market will be crammed with the best local suppliers and producers. Eat your fill and then dance it off to The Zutons, The Futureheads and, of course, Jo Whiley. And we’ll be there, too. Look out for the Red chill-out zone, where you can escape the crowds and enjoy a bit of relaxing peace and quiet with the Red team. See you in Suffolk!

Todstock in Todmorden 7-8 August 2010.
