Kick-starting the season and for its eighth year is Blenheim Palace Food Festival (Thursday 2nd June – Sunday 5th June) in Oxfordshire during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend. Previous years have seen over 28,000 visitors over 3 days, therefore an incredible opportunity for the finest brands to showcase their products to a foodie audience. Visitors from Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, Blenheim Annual Members and Tourists visit the food festival each year to enjoy this gourmet weekend set in 2000 acres of parkland.
The iconic Royal Victoria Park situated in the historical city of Bath will host the second Fantastic Food Festival this summer on Friday 29th July to Sunday 31st July. A new venue for this year, expect to see, as with all other venues, even more masterclasses and immersive experiences. Fantastic Food Festivals works creatively with producers to achieve results and enhance the visitor’s experience.
To this end, stallholders and sponsors will also have the opportunity to showcase their products in the new Tasting Tent – an exciting new platform for brand activation and engaging with visitors.
During the August Bank Holiday (Saturday 27th August – Monday 29th August), Upton Country Park in picturesque Poole will host the final Fantastic Food Festival this summer. Situated on the front lawn, with the stunning backdrop of this grand Grade II listed Georgian House, the festival will be an opportunity to celebrate delicious regional and national produce from a diverse selection of stallholders with plenty of entertainment for all the family.
Festival Director, Angus Chilvers comments: “We’re delighted to be back this summer! We have a brilliant line up of exceptional world-renowned chefs and TV stars in the Festival Theatre for each event including Italian legend Gennaro Contaldo who will be taking part in a very special pasta making session and chef royalty, Raymond Blanc OBE who will be conducting a Q&A in the Blenheim Palace Festival Kitchen. Join The Great British Bake Off’s Karen Wright for a Baking Masterclass and TV chef Dean Edwards will be cooking up a storm. Top Nutritionist Eva Humphries is on hand to help you whip up an indulgent but healthy treat or two and it’s definitely shaken not stirred in TV’s Andy Clarke’s Cocktail Class. For something completely unique, look out for George Egg– a one man comedy show about how to cook with tools!”
Angus continues: “We always strive to evolve the festivals, this year we increased the masterclasses and immersive experiences as they were hugely popular in 2021. Becoming a stallholder is an ideal opportunity for a brand to sample a new product or to have a presence with such a key foodie and family audience. Children under 18 are FREE at Upton Country Park Food Festival and Bath Food Festival and all venues are dog friendly!”
