Food & Drink Theatre

The Food & Drink Theatre is the centerpiece of the Food Festival. See the full timetable here.

Local and celebrity chefs, cooks and bakers will cook up a storm, providing inspiration, top tips and answers to all cooking related questions as they do.

This year, you’ll be able to see Channel 4’s The Great British Bake Off 2023 winner, Matty Edgell on Friday and Saturday and fellow contestant Saku Chandrasekara also on Saturday. Andrew Easton will be this year’s host.

The chefs and special guests from across the three counties will focus on showcasing local produce. You’ll certainly find a range of sessions to suit every taste!

JLS star and CBeebies presenter, JB Gill and Clarkson’s Farm’s, Kaleb Cooper will be taking part in demos in this theatre on Sunday 16 June.
