When it comes to Foodies Festival, the clue is in the name: if you're serious about food, this is where you need to be this summer. Over the Bank Holiday weekend 27-29 August, it'll be taking over the grassy expanse of North London's Alexandra Park, fully equipped with stages, theatres and markets aplenty to enthral any food lover.
Highlights from the lineup include the Aga Rangemaster Chefs Theatre, where Arnaud Stevens of SixtyOne and Rakesh Nair from The Cinnamon Club will be showcasing their signature dishes, and MasterChef winners Jane Devonshire, Dhruv Baker and Tony Rodd will be cooking their favourite summer recipes right in front of festival-goers.
Over in the Drinks Theatre, there'll be masterclasses around the story of champagne, wine tastings and beer tutorials; there's even a dedicated Cake & Bake Theatre, while little ones will be kept entertained at the Kids' Cookery Theatre.
