Festival of Food and Drink 2027
The next Festival of Food and Drink is Saturday 18 September through Sunday 19 September 2027 at Thoresby Park, near Ollerton, Newark, Nottinghamshire. The official homepage, checked on 3 October 2026, says the festival returns for its 14th year on those days and asks visitors to sign up for ticket releases, chef announcements, traders, and other news. The page title is Festival of Food and Drink 2027. The site header and footer on the homepage, About, and Visiting pages also read Thoresby Park, Nottinghamshire, 18th + 19th September 2027.
This is the same Thoresby Park food festival previously listed under a scraped title for 19 and 20 September 2026. That weekend has already ended. The homepage opens with "Thank you for an amazing weekend" and then gives the 2027 return dates. Some older lines are still on the site and are not the next edition: a homepage button still says buy tickets for 19–20 September 2026, and the Visiting page still has a heading for 19 + 20 September 2026 plus a note that 2026 tickets are on sale. Those are leftover from the edition that finished. Stored draft dates 24 September 2025 to 13 May 2026 do not match either edition and are not kept.
Place and hours
Festival address printed on the site: Thoresby Park, Nr. Ollerton, Newark, Nottinghamshire, NG22 9EP. The Visiting page says to use postcode NG22 9EP for satnav, enter through the main park entrance, and follow the road to the car park. It also says the park is 22 miles north of Nottingham city centre, with Military Museum and Courtyard signs from the A614, A1, A616, and A6075. Footer and Visiting page both give opening times of 10am to 5pm daily.
What the festival is
The homepage describes a two-day public food and drink weekend: artisan producers, street food, a cookery theatre with TV chefs, live music, a cookery school, and a VIP marquee. It calls the show the biggest food and drink festival in the East Midlands and mentions more than 170 traders and street-food flavours. Exhibitor notes say the organiser focuses on producers from Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, the North East, Cumbria, and Yorkshire, and may consider traders from elsewhere if the products are distinctive. The sales contact printed in the footer is +44 (0)1246 902101 and [email protected].
2027 ticket prices and the chef line-up were not published as a current on-sale offer on 3 October 2026. Do not use the 2026 ticket wording on the Visiting page as 2027 prices.
