Nantwich food festival

We have regularly attracted over 40,000 visitors to our 3 day event, making us one of the UK’s largest free-to-enter food festivals.
The festival has two gourmet food halls set in different areas, within the heart of our historic town centre. As well as food & drink from around the world, we offer crowd-pulling family activities all weekend including kids’ activities, cookery demonstrations, cookalongs, 2 live music stages, tastings, local and celebrity chefs.
As a valued exhibitor, you will get personalised booking assistance – we’re not a big corporate, and we get great feedback for going the extra mile. Repeat bookings are high, a testament to exhibitor satisfaction, but we’re always looking for high-quality additions to join our foodie family!
