Great British Food Festival Gloucestershire

GBFF will have a line-up of top chefs and bakers this year. It will combine some names you may recognise, alongside some of the best chefs from local restaurants and pubs. Each will showcase a different dish and techniques.

Let them inspire you in your kitchen and learn how to create and perfect dishes at home. They will take you through one (or two) of their favourite recipes while sharing shortcuts and tips of the trade.

Elsewhere, there will be live music, a BBQ Stage, street food, bars and an artisan market. All this and the Cake Off comp for those budding bakers!

Pub in the Park Tunbridge Wells
Dunorlan Park

Pub in the Park is now the biggest food and music festival tour in the UK. Impressively, over 130,000 punters ate, drank and danced their way around eight locations in 2021.

The brainchild of Tom Kerridge, each festival celebrates everything there is to love about the British pub. There will be delicious food, award-winning chefs, music, great drinks – but, above all else, a fantastic time to be had with friends and family.

At the Tunbridge Wells leg, you can join chefs Kerridge and Simon Rimmer; party to Supergrass, Aswad and Sophie Ellis-Bextor; and tuck into dishes from The Hand and Flowers and Atul Kochhar Restaurants.
