The Southbourne Food and Fun Festival is a brand-new celebration of local food, drink, and community spirit - brought to you by Stir Events CIC.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Fisherman’s Walk, this free one-day festival will be packed with flavours, creativity, and family fun. Visitors can explore a bustling market of local food and drink producers, meet the people behind Southbourne’s favourite cafés and restaurants, and discover handmade goods from Dorset and Hampshire artisans.

Alongside fabulous food experiences, the festival will inspire greener living with “grow your own” and “cook your own” workshops, led by local chefs, gardeners, and community groups. There’ll be plenty to entertain the whole family - from live music by The Hush Club, to cake baking competitions, food bingo, and a fancy-dress parade for anyone who loves to get creative!

The day will also shine a spotlight on local food banks, eco-projects, and good causes, reminding us how food connects us all and how small actions can make a big difference.

Join us for a day of flavour, fun, and community - celebrating the very best of Southbourne’s food culture and the people who make it thrive.
