Tickets are sold out for the Bluff Oyster & Food Festival on Saturday, 21 May, which makes the 2016 event the most popular to date.

Organisers say there will now be “very, very limited gate sales on the day and those will only be available after some of the initial attendees leave the festival”.

The entertainment gets underway at 11am after the gates open at 10.30am with the traditional Piping In Of The Oyster, the Ode and official welcome.
