From award-winning cheeses to craft spirits, artisan chocolate to fresh doughnuts — the Cotswold Show Food Hall returns bigger and better than ever on 4th and 5th July.
The Cotswold Show & Food Festival has always been about more than the arena — and this year’s Food Hall is a testament to the extraordinary quality and variety of artisan food and drink producers thriving across the UK.
From the moment you step inside, the Food Hall is an adventure for the senses. Award-winning cheeses from The Cheshire Cheese Company, The Great British Cheese Company, Croome Cheese and West Country Fayre sit alongside hot and cold smoked meats and game from Charcuterie Hereford and Wight Smoke. The Crusty Pie Company brings speciality pies, pasties and gourmet rolls, while Selly Punjabis offers jumbo vegan samosas and pakoras and Pecans brings a taste of the Mediterranean.
For those with a sweet tooth the choice is genuinely overwhelming. The Homemade Brownie Company brings its award-winning chocolate brownies, Chock Shop serves artisan brownies with warm chocolate sauce and cream, Tinis Fudge Cakes and Bakes offers up to fifty varieties of luxury cakes and fudge, Pipp & Co serves fresh fluffy doughnuts in every flavour imaginable, The Cotswold Cookie Company brings luxury handmade stuffed New York-style cookies, and Ivor’s Ice Cream rounds things off beautifully with artisan ice cream and sorbets. Whitefields Dairy goes one step further with the rather wonderful addition of sheep’s milk ice cream.
The drinks offer is equally impressive. Raise a glass of Aime Cartier Champagne — imported from small premier and grand champagne houses — or explore the world of craft spirits with the Celtic Spirit Company’s award-winning Isle of Anglesey liqueurs, O’Donnell Moonshine from Manchester, Oude Ltd’s local gin and rum, and Beckford’s award-winning flavoured rums and whisky. Cider lovers are well served by Chucklehead’s traditional Devon farm cider, Old Stag’s craft Cotswold cider and perry, and Skittery Apple Juice and Cider’s single variety apple juices. For non-drinkers, Drinks Kitchen’s non-alcoholic aperitif and Hullabaloo’s natural fruity soft drinks are equally tempting.
GingerBeard’s Preserves, Pimp Your Mayo’s multi-award-winning seasoning blends, Flint and Flame luxury kitchen knives, Fippenny Woods’ handmade wooden food preparation items and Brewzed’s great beers from producers across the UK complete an extraordinary collection of artisan food and drink producers.
The Cotswold Show & Food Festival takes place on 4th and 5th July 2026 at Cirencester Park. Tickets are on sale now at cotswoldshow.co.uk.
