The festival 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 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 – expect your local favourites as well national heroes you may never have been able to visit.

There is a dedicated kids area, chef demos, shopping village and artisan food market. Plus there is live music throughout.

Festival goers can feast on exclusive dishes for only £6 a plate! Including BBQ Glazed Brisket from Kerridge’s two Michelin starred The Hand & Flowers; Proper Pie & Peas from The Horse & Groom; Sussex Lamb Moon Rellenas from The Half Moon Kirdford; and the famous Chicken Tikka Pie from Atul Kochhar Restaurants (see below an overview of menus and link to the full list).

Tom Kerridge said: “I’m so excited to be bringing another incredible menu to Pub in the Park this year. We all deserve a good party and I can’t wait for everyone to dig into some great food whilst watching some quality live gigs.
