The “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” is almost upon us, so it’s time to celebrate food, glorious food at places such as the Abergavenny food festival, or go on a cider tour in Herefordshire, where they have themed events showcasing the county’s orchards. In the Scottish Highlands, the Golden Spurtle world porridge-making championship draws oat-loving competitors from around the world, and a real ale trail takes beer guzzlers by bus on a tour of Cheshire’s country pubs. We’d like to hear about your favourite food festival, ale trail or seafood celebration.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.

Keep your tip to about 100 words.

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.

We’re sorry, but for legal reasons you must be a UK resident to enter this competition.

The competition closes on Monday 18 September at 9am BST.
