Festivals

Home to Kent's largest free to enter food festivals, our 3-day events bring together the best of Kent's producers and exhibitors.

Chefs from across the county offer unmissable live cooking demonstrations, local retailers offer taste sessions and, at Easter, there are free to attend childrens' activities.

Over 100 stalls, with everything from daily bread to a bespoke champagne and seafood bar.

Look for the Taste of Kent award winners amongst cheeses, pickles, pies, preserves, wine, spirits and craft producers.

Please Note: For the safety and comfort of all, only Registered Assistance Dogs are allowed to enter the festival site.

Easter 2025 Festival

Booking will commence October with a closing date of 30th November 2024 and pitches will be confirmed by 22nd December 2024.

We are keen to support local and Kent products and producers, and innovative menu items so they will take priority when selecting traders.

If you are a local Startup....email info@broadstairsfoodfestival.org.uk to discuss entry level pitch fees.

There are limited pitches for non-food craft items but they need to be home or garden related.

Please note: we are not looking for not jewellery, clothing, greeting cards nor kitchen equipment demonstrators. Large catering vehicles cannot be accommodated.

Great Show! Thank you so much. We had a blast. Thank you and the team for all the hard work you put into it. It really is the best food festival around.

Georgia Hainault, Head of Events, Pinkster Gin, 2022

As usual many thanks to your Volunteers - they really are the 'up front and welcoming face' of the Festival.

It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of such a fantastically well organised local event.
