What if the weather is bad?

Broadstairs Food Festival is an outdoor event, taking place whatever the British weather decides to do. We will therefore be open throughout all usual weather conditions, which will include inclement weather. We remind all customers to dress appropriately for the weather.

In the unlikely event that weather conditions pose a risk to health and safety, that day, or part of, could be cancelled. An announcement would be made through our social media platforms and our website. We advise customers to check our website/social media channels for the latest updates before they travel, particularly in the event of forecasted inclement weather.
