The Staffordshire stop of the touring Great British Food Festival, held at Trentham Gardens over the early May bank holiday.

The touring Great British Food Festival opens its season at Trentham Gardens near Stoke-on-Trent over the early May bank holiday weekend, with street food, a large artisan market, bars and live bands throughout the day.

The headline stage mixes chef demonstrations with light-hearted contests such as cake-offs and 'Beat the Chef', and there is a live-fire stage, paid hands-on 'Cook, Taste & Learn' sessions, a family challenge stage and children's cooking experiences. Tickets include access to Trentham's gardens, lake and children's playground, and dogs are welcome. In 2026 it opened 10am-6pm on Saturday and Sunday and until 5pm on the bank holiday Monday.
