Hello there, Please may you advise where you saw it advertised as a free event? Essex County Council do not advertise for this event as it is a site hire at Cressing Temple.

The price you were charged was the organisers admission fee to the event in which there was a variety of stalls, cooking demonstrations and classes. I hope this helps answer your question.
