Britain's What's On Event Guide

Grill Fest

After 2 great years, Grill Fest is back for a weekend celebrating outdoor cooking. Perfect for BBQ enthusiasts and garden chefs, the event is designed to help you get more from your BBQ, pizza oven or fire pit at home.

Enjoy live cooking demonstrations packed with sizzling BBQ inspiration, learn new grilling techniques from leading outdoor cooking brands, and take part in hands-on cook-along sessions with the experts. There will be free food samples throughout the day, local producers with BBQ rubs, seasonings and condiments, a drinks bar, and live music.

With brands including Broil King, Weber, Ooni, Gozney, YETI and Kadai, plus kids’ entertainment to keep younger visitors happy, it’s a great summer day out for the whole family.

NEW for 2026: Cook Along Sessions! Book a slot to test the equipment by cooking something yourself under the instruction of the brands themselves so you can really get to grips with the grills. These are a limited number of small group sessions - once they're booked, they're booked!
