Nurture body and soul with some truly scrumptious food and drink.
From craft baking to organic local brewing, artisan cheese to local chocolates, the world-famous Pannage Pork to some seriously mouth-watering botanical gins – the New Forest Food Festival has it all, and more. Just imagine it. Sampling, experimenting, trying something new – even learning how to do it at home with the help of some starry top chefs.
Imagine it. A whole, delicious weekend of it. We’re there already.
Pop- ups
Head right this way for pop-up eateries… The New Forest Food Festival has them in abundance. From traditional spit-roasts to mindful Buddha bowls, fresh-squeezed juices to organic ales, sizzling sausages to chocolicious sweeties – there’s something for everyone’s taste. Family-friendly or a little bit spicier – take your pick of the best.
One top tip: pace yourself, as there will be plenty to choose from. And you’ll need to leave room for ice-cream, right? (There’s always room for ice-cream.)
Cookery Demos
This is where food gets seriously exciting – with live demonstrations by our fantastic New Forest Food Festival chefs. Demonstrations and insider knowledge, secret skills revealed and culinary magic abounding.
Take note, and soon you’ll be dazzling the tastebuds like a pro. Best bit: you get to eat your experiments. Nice. We like that part the most.
Artisan Market
Three cheers for the artisans! These makers and bakers are our national heroes. We celebrate them here, with yummy bells on.
Proudly supported by the New Forest Marque and Hampshire Fare, The New Forest Food Festival is super-excited to be offering up all the very best in local and hand-made deliciousness.

New Forest News Flash – in 2024 the New Forest Marque will welcome local artists and crafts people into their membership scheme for the very first time. A crafty, rather brilliant idea. We’re in.
Craft Market
In an age of mass-production, there’s something extra-special about the genuinely hand-crafted – one-off objects made with love and care that last a lifetime and are full of memories.This is what you’ll find at the New Forest Food Festival craft market. See how it’s made, love it, take it home and make it yours.

They’ll go wild for all the fun stuff to do here. Bushcraft and face-painting. Smoothie-mixing and welly wanging. Den-building and learning how to make THE best pizza this side of Naples.
