Food And Drink Festivals In The UK

The ultimate foodie event is back for 2025: Wing Fest. Chicken lovers can try over 90 different types of wing across the three-day event, judging which one is the best. Their festivals can be found across the UK, taking over venues with live entertainment and great food.

As well as great beer, bourbon and chicken, you can enjoy everything from live music and DJ sets to axe throwing or eating competitions. Tickets start from just £25 per person, with a trucker hat included for every guest.

The Glaziers Hall is coming alive with The Tequila and Mezcal Show. Roll on up to taste your way through over 250 of the boldest spirits on the market.

Expect bright, grassy flavours and intense smoky hues along the way. Tickets start from just £41 and include a free Perfect Measure tasting glass.

On the site of the town's original indoor market, Ormskirk Food & Drink Market combines local tradition with a modern place to meet, eat and play. With six traders serving up pizza, noodles, burgers and all kinds of street food, there's something here for every kind of tastebud.

The event's calendar is just as pleasingly packed. Get down here for family fun days, doggy meetups, festive crafting, brunch clubs and plenty more besides.

A rural location so beautiful that anyone who enters feels honoured to be there, Papple Steading is a farmhouse-style hideaway complete with luxury accommodation, cute cafe, wine bar and bakery selling local goods. 

But on 20th - 21st September, it's making way for an almighty festival that's free to enter and celebrates the best of East Lothian food, drink and tourism. Expect market stands hosting tastings and demos, alongside four ticketed experiences including a cheese and wine pairing session, sourdough masterclass, whisky tasting and botanical tea blending.
