3rd to 5th Sept
Pub in the Park
Chiswick, London
Pub in the Park is the biggest food and music festival tour in the UK. Indeed, over 120,000 punters ate, drank and danced their way around eight locations in 2019.
Each event celebrates everything there is to love about the glorious British pub: delicious food, award-winning chefs, chart-topping music, great drinks – but, above all else, having a fantastic time with friends and family.
Award-winning pubs and restaurants will ‘pop-up’ around each park, serving £6 tasting dishes for you to get stuck into. On top of that, the music at Chiswick will be supplied by artists including Kaiser Chiefs, The Feeling and Basement Jaxx (DJ set).

The Great British Food Festival
Margam Park, Neath
This event’s aim has always been ‘to create fabulous, fun foodie days out for all of our visitors and their families to enjoy’. It works with wonderful producers, who not only make fabulous food and drink products but are also genuinely passionate about what they do.
There are some top chefs and bakers lined up to appear this year. Great British Bake Off stars like Sandy Docherty and Phil Thorne will be at the Neath leg, alongside some of the very best chefs from local restaurants and pubs. The event moves on to Midlothian later in the month.
