The 2026 Nantwich Food Festival runs Friday 4 September to Sunday 6 September across three town-centre sites. It offers a mix of food and drink exhibitors from Cheshire, the UK and beyond, street-food stalls, a Food Theatre, a Children’s Marquee, a Cook-Along Marquee and two live-music stages. Highlights include live cooking demos by celebrity chefs (e.g., Phil Vickery, Adam Purnell), cocktail masterclasses, pizza-making, and a range of competitions such as the Mr Dabber Town Trail, Jamaican Ginger Cake bake-off and a window-display contest. The event is free, volunteer-run and has won a Cheshire Life Food Drink Award. Additional features are parking facilities, a park-and-ride service, and a map of the festival layout. Sponsors include Nantwich Town Council, Mornflake Oats, Morrisons and others. The festival aims to showcase local talent, promote community engagement and provide family-friendly entertainment.
