Independent Surrey food & drink festival FeastyFest have shared their full programme and announced a series of site and production enhancements as the festival gets ready to open the gates in a month’s time. A weekend of the best food, music and entertainment for all ages in the heart of Surrey, FeastyFest exists to provide families with an amazing but affordable festival experience while creating a platform for the area’s phenomenal food & drink producers.
Bringing together world-famous talent, incredible demonstrations and delicious produce is what FeastyFest is all about and this year it’s bigger than ever with the likes of TV star and Chef Director of Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant empire, Jack Stein; Masterchef finalist and resident Chef on ITV’s Lorraine, Dean Edwards and renowned author and chef specialising in modern takes on her Indian culinary heritage, Mira Manek all cooking up a storm in the brand new, purpose-built FeastyFest Demo Kitchen.
FeastyFest wouldn’t be a festival without live music and this year the whole weekend is packed with party-worthy performances. The House & Garage Orchestra and none other than ‘90s superstars Vengaboys are this year’s unmissable headliners whilst acts like The Dunwells and RPJ bring some proper rock ‘n’ roll swagger to Cheam Park and premier tribute acts such as Ska Wars, The Dolly Parton Experience and Strictly UB40 are guaranteed to get everybody singing along to the classics in no time.
FeastyFest 2024 plays host to even more activities than last year, aimed at letting little ones blow off some steam, providing parents with a bit of peace and even helping burn off some of the delicious food and drink on offer. From Bazerkas Circus, Skate School and live wrestling courtesy of British Empire Wrestling to Baby Zumba, bouncy castles and so much more, FeastyFest want everyone to enjoy a brilliant weekend whether they’re eating the best seasonal produce that Surrey has to offer, dancing the night away or simply playing swingball with their friends.
Launched in 2018 by local event professionals looking to create a brilliant but affordable event for their hometown, FeastyFest has grown into Surrey’s largest independent food festival, attracting thousands of attendees from across the region.
With a huge programme covering everything from live-cooking demos, chilli eating competitions, wrestling, sports and a full music line-up on the main stage, the team behind FeastyFest hope to offer a cost-of-living busting festival experience with adult tickets priced from just £27.50 per day with under 12’s going absolutely free.
As a not-for-profit festival, FeastyFest is committed to supporting initiatives in their local community via their Feasty Community Projects. Supporting both local charities and individuals, Feasty Community Projects has financially supported initiatives including days out for families of children with complex needs, Christmas dinners for the elderly in sheltered housing where government funding has been removed, a Secret Santa for struggling families in the community and life-changing mobility items essential to people’s jobs and careers.
