This year's Hampshire Food Festival runs from 1st - 31st July, and will be packed with around 140 different events held at numerous venues across the county, in celebration of Hampshire's fabulous food and drink.

Join the farm, brewery and vineyard tours, farmers' markets, walks, and trails. Or if you prefer a more ‘hands on’ approach, there will be workshops and master classes for children and adults, local produce meals, tasting events and cookery demonstrations by Hampshire chefs and more.

Events run weekdays, evenings and weekends across Hampshire, with plenty of opportunities to eat, enjoy and buy!

Visiting celebrity chefs will include The Hairy Bikers, Rose Elliot, Atul Kochhar and Valentina Harris.
