Cookery Demos
This is where food gets seriously exciting – with live demonstrations by our fantastic New Forest Food Festival chefs. Demonstrations and insider knowledge, secret skills revealed and culinary magic abounding.
Take note, and soon you’ll be dazzling the tastebuds like a pro. Best bit: you get to eat your experiments. Nice. We like that part the most.
Artisan Market
Three cheers for the artisans! These makers and bakers are our national heroes. We celebrate them here, with yummy bells on.
Proudly supported by the New Forest Marque and Hampshire Fare, The New Forest Food Festival is super-excited to be offering up all the very best in local and hand-made deliciousness. Imagne it. A whole, delicious weekend of it. We’re there already.
Local creative crafts
Displays
Have you ever seen someone cut and mill an oak tree into a table? Shear a sheep and spin its wool into a scarf? Paint a landscape?
Throw a pot on a wheel? Well, we have, and it’s seriously cool. For this and more, step right this way…
Market
In an age of mass-production, there’s something extra-special about the genuinely hand-crafted – one-off objects made with love and care that last a lifetime and are full of memories.This is what you’ll find at the New Forest Food Festival craft market. See how it’s made, love it, take it home and make it yours.
Let us entertain you
Live Acts
Of course, the bard really nailed it, saying ‘if music be the food of love, play on…’ Food, love, music. They definitely go together. Bit like New Forest and Food Festival. So grab a tasty treat, head to our live stage, sit back and soak up the atmosphere.
Kidtastic
They’ll go wild for all the fun stuff to do here. Bushcraft and face-painting. Smoothie-mixing and welly wanging. Den-building and learning how to make THE best pizza this side of Naples.
Are you feeling tents?
Just relax. We’ve got your back. The New Forest Food Festival has teamed up with In Nature Camping, a tenant of the Hinton Admiral Estate, to offer a small, family-friendly, pop-up campsite, a short stroll away. Or you might like to check into one of the other beautiful places to stay nearby: The Retreat New Forest, or our gorgeous Estate holiday cottages.
So save the date, a fun-filled, adventure-packed, delicious weekend awaits! Top tip: no need to pack a picnic for this one. We have it covered :)
