FEAST, Battersea Park

Food festivals in London don't come much better than this. Set up by Foodies Festival, FEAST will host an array of culinary activities for tens of thousands of visitors throughout the weekend to celebrate the wonders of the culinary world.

With a vast variety of activities taking place, you’ll be spoilt for choice on what to do! Expect to hear from top chefs in the Cooking Theatre before sampling new beers, wine, spirits and cocktails in the Drinks Theatre. Visit the BBQ Arena for some alfresco dining, or the Chilli Food Market for a chilli-eating competition. And don’t forget to visit the Real Ale and Cider Tent for a pint of something to wash it down with.

Make sure you take a look around the brand new Vintage Tea Tent, which will host daily tea dances alongside a Vintage Kitchen Market. For those of you with a sweet tooth you must go to the Chocolate, Cake, Bake and Preserves Theatre.

For families, we recommend taking your children to the Children’s Cooking Theatre where children can learn to cook food from all over the world. Classes will run hourly (as will classes and demonstrations in all other tents), and are included in the ticket price.

All this will be enjoyed with live music throughout the day – line-up to be announced soon.

Adult tickets are £12 for the day, £22 for the weekend and £45 for VIP day tickets. For foodies, this is a ne plus ultra of food events in London, so we suggest you purchase a three-day ticket to cram in as much as you can.
