The Wiltshire stop of the touring Great British Food Festival, with chef demos, street food and music in Lydiard Park.

Lydiard Park, on the western edge of Swindon, hosts one of the summer stops of the Great British Food Festival, a ticketed touring series held at parks and country houses around the country.

The format mixes chef demonstrations on a headline stage, live-fire cooking, food challenges, children's cookery, artisan producers, street food, bars and live music. Some hands-on cooking experiences cost extra.

The organisers offer a rain-day guarantee and badge their events as pet friendly.

If you add photos: I took these photos myself at this festival. They don’t show anyone’s face close up or other identifiable people (crowds in the distance are fine), or personal details such as tickets, screens or number plates. I give foodfeastivals.co.uk permission to show them on this site with credit to my display name.

This review is my own genuine experience of the festival. I have not been paid or offered anything (including free tickets) for it, and I don’t organise, work at, trade at or sponsor this festival or a competing one.
