WHAT’S ON
Proudly serving up Foodie Goodness in Nottingham
(with a good dose of wackiness).
Music & Live Entertainment
Across the Park
Free with your ticket: a fuller music line-up than ever, standout tribute acts, live performance moments and roaming comedy drifting through the festival all weekend.
Chef Demos & Foodie Theatre
Catch free demos from some of the region’s leading chefs, with festival programmes on hand so you can follow every sizzle, stir and clever little trick.
Street Food, Bars & Artisan Makers
Taste your way through bold street food, indie bars pouring your favourite tipples, and artisan stalls stocked with small-batch treats to take home (if they make it that far).
Good Times for All Ages
Easy-going shows, wonderfully offbeat production, funfair rides, hands-on activities and foodie colouring sheets to keep younger visitors entertained while you tuck in.
Heaps of Free Activities, Trails & Attractions
Try new mini-games, wander our Foodie Clue Quest scavenger trail, explore fresh additions across the site — then settle into a deckchair for a well-earned pause.
Pooches welcome...
...And Goats too
Just ‘kidding’, but do come visit the mobile animal farm.
Pull up a chair, gather your favourite people and settle in for the weekend...
