It’s set to be an extra exciting year for Foodies Festival 2025 – the UK’s biggest touring celebrity, food and music festival – as it gets ready to celebrate its 20th anniversary. This year, the festival is bigger than ever before, with two brand-new locations, a wealth of exciting entertainment and a huge star-studded line-up of TV chefs and chart-topping music stars. Fancy being a part of all of that?
Foodies Festival will be travelling to a staggering 14 UK regions in 2025, across 42 dates between May and August, including Nottingham and Cambridge for the first time ever.
At each location, the festival adapts to the local community, showcasing chefs, musicians and produce from the area, alongside staple acts that appear across every Foodies Festival location. Visitors can look forward to live cooking demonstrations from some of the hottest chefs right now, including celebrity chef Atul Kochhar, Great British Bake Off winner Matty Edgell, MasterChef champions Chariya Khatiyott, Tom Rhodes, Thomas Frake and Dhruv Baker, and Great British Menu winners Ben Palmer, Daniel McGeorge and Adam Reid.
While Michelin-starred talent will include Jeff Galvin, from Galvin Restaurants, Alex Payne from The Tudor Pass, Mike North from the Nut Tree Inn, James and Georgia Sommerin from Home at Penarth, Paul Leonard from The Forest Side and Long Ng from Taku.
Of course, Foodies Festival isn’t just about great food! Expect a showstopping line-up of musical talent to grace its stages this year, including chart-topping boy band Blue, Pixie Lott, Example, Scouting For Girls and many more.

New for 2025 is the Great Taste Market, where visitors can explore lots of delicious artisan foods, The Tasting Theatre, which will host a variety of themed tastings, and the International Cook School, where festival goers can learn new techniques and cook a dish to take away with them. There's fun for the whole family to get involved in too, with a dedicated Kids Cookery School where little ones can get to grips with essential cooking techniques.
Visitors can also browse the latest food trends in the Shopping Village and meet local producers in the Artisan Market. And for the inevitable moment when those hunger pangs kick in, the Feasting and Street Food Hub in the centre of festival will be serving an array of global dishes all weekend long.
