The summer Good Food Show, renamed the Good Food Festival and moving from the NEC to the Packington Estate for 2027.

For years the summer Good Food Show ran indoors at the NEC alongside BBC Gardeners' World Live. From 2027 it becomes the Good Food Festival and moves outdoors to the Packington Estate near Meriden, still paired with Gardeners' World Live.

The format keeps live cooking demonstrations from TV chefs (James Martin is among those announced), shopping from artisan producers, tastings and workshops, and adds a street food village. The organisers say under-16s go free at the weekend.

The last NEC edition ran from 18 to 21 June 2026 in Halls 6 and 18-20, with demonstrations from Si King and James Martin.
