From the team behind the world-famous Ideal Home Show comes Eat & Drink Festival, a pioneering live experience celebrating the best the country has to offer in the world of food and drink.

Indulge in a selection of the world's finest flavours, crafted by the country's most celebrated street-food visionaries at The Great Eat. Just some of the highlights are Le Bun's succulent burgers, beautiful buttermilk fried chicken from Butchies, and delicately delicious crab from Claw.

Get unique insight, tricks and tips at The Foodie Lab from top chefs including Theo Randall, Eric Lanlard, Omar Alibhoy, Sophie Michell, Neil Rankin and Candice Brown.

Brush up on your kitchen skills with a selection of live demonstrations from top cookery schools at the Cook's Academy. They will show you all the tricks of the trade from how to season your food for the best flavour or even tips for filleting with precision or tackling some of the trickiest kitchen techniques.

The Drinks Station will be the home of creative cocktails, distinctive wines and beers, spirits and the priceless insight of top industry experts. You’ll even be able to sample some of their creations and learn to pair drinks with food.

You'll be able to continue your Eat & Drink Festival experience at home, too, with fantastic products from independent and artisan producers at the Artisan Producers Market.

Sound good? We've teamed up with the festival to giveaway 500 pairs of complimentary tickets on a first come, first served basis. And the tickets include free entry to the Ideal Home Show, to boot.
