The Foodies Festival will be held in Preston Park in Brighton from May 4–6, 2024, to celebrate the bank holiday.
The Foodies Festival is a touring food and music festival that will include live cooking demonstrations from TV celebrities and chefs such as MasterChef: The Professionals champion Alex Webb.
This festival will also have musical performances from Scouting For Girls, Sister Sledge, and the Symphonic Ibiza Orchestra, and it is suitable for all ages.
Sue Hitchen, Foodies Festival founder, said: “We always like to start in Brighton. In Brighton, visitors are so receptive. They are always the first people to get up and dance, and it is so great to start with such a positive response.”
This festival will have a cake and dessert theatre where top bakers such as Great British Bake Off’s Jürgen Krauss will share baking tips and offer the audience cake.
Alex Webb, said: “I’m looking forward to the Foodies Festival tour; it’s my 3rd year in a row, and I’m glad to be returning!
“I can’t wait to celebrate the local food and drink in the region. I’ll be cooking some of my favourite dishes, such as lobster toast and chilli jam, as well as some classics from MasterChef!”
There will be a kid’s cookery theatre where chefs will teach around thirty children basic cooking skills, and this year, the children will make a noodle dish.
Roy Stride, Scouting For Girls frontman, said: “We always look forward to performing at Foodies, and it wouldn’t be summer without it! The festivals have a great vibe and are the perfect way to spend a lovely weekend with family and friends.”
There will also be a drinks theatre, which will include tutored tastings of champagne, wine, beer, and cocktails, and the presenters include BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 drinks experts.
The festival will feature a shopping village and artisan market where people can buy food and drink and meet local producers.
The Foodies Festival will tour the UK from May to September and visit cities such as London, Tunbridge Wells, and Bath.
