The Christchurch Food Festival 2026 will take place over May Bank Holiday weekend from 23rd to 25th May.

Every May we take over Christchurch Quay, possibly one of the most beautiful event venues in the UK, to bring a 3 day food-fuelled garden party where we’re joined by around 60,000 visitors from Christchurch and the South Coast all ready to enjoy a fabulous free event.

With top local and national chefs to whet your appetite, and a fully programmed entertainment stage, livestock with the Sheep Show and of course 100’s of the best food and drink from the South and South West, this will be a weekend to remember in our beautiful town of Christchurch.

For 2026 we are looking forward to a line up of amazing food and drink, great chefs, fabulous entertainment and huge amounts of fun.

Come and enjoy a very special event FREE for all the family.
