Planning a visit to Broadstairs Food Festival? Get ready to discover fantastic food and drink, brilliant producers, live music and inspiring Kitchen Theatre demonstrations.
The festival is free to enter and offers a welcoming, family-friendly day out for food lovers of all ages. Most of our Kitchen Theatre programme is also completely free, with tickets only required for the special wine and beer tastings.
Broadstairs Food Festival takes place twice a year; over the Easter weekend and again in autumn, bringing even more delicious food, drink and entertainment to enjoy by the sea.
Registered assistance dogs are very welcome. However, due to the size of the festival arena and the amount of food on site, we’re sorry that no other animals are permitted.
We’ve put together an exciting programme of entertainment across the festival. Enjoy fantastic live music at the Bandstand and an incredible Kitchen Theatre line-up featuring Michelin-starred names, natural food specialists, talented local chefs, renowned authors and a special cooking demonstration from comedian George Egg.
With the exception of our special wine and beer tastings, everything is completely free to attend.
