About

For a summer experience that's a cut above the rest, our food festival is a must-visit for families seeking flavourful fun. Scheduled from 17th-18th August, the event highlights include the Great British Open Freestyle BBQ Championships, a myriad of award-winning street food traders, international pitmasters and fire cooks set to elevate your BBQ appreciation. Our jam-packed programme also includes live music stage with international DJs spinning Afrobeats, old school, US house and 90s-00s R&B.

There's plenty for the children too: a dedicated Kids Zone, fair rides, bouncy castles, and our FREE circus Skills workshops! Test your grit at our bucking rodeo bull contest or engage in our extreme chilli and hot wing eating challenges. Savour local brews at our mini Real Ale and Cider festival, or chill in our VIP lounges with fizz and cocktails. With weekend camping available, you can make the most of the festival vibe. Join us at Maldon's Promenade Park for a sizzling BBQ and fire cooking experience that's sure to be a family hit.
