Festival-goers can enjoy a line-up of live cooking demonstrations in the popular Chefs Theatre and Baking Theatre, featuring stars from MasterChef, The Great British Bake Off and Great British Menu, alongside some of the region’s finest culinary talent. 

Then, once the sun sets, Foodies Festival transforms into a vibrant music arena, with live performances each day from world class talent including headline acts Gareth Gates, BoyzLife and B*Witched.

Over the weekend, attendees can get involved with a range of hands-on experiences including the Kids Cookery School, shopping in the artisan market and, of course, the Legendary Chilli Challenge for those who are brave enough.
