Exhibitors
Over 120 exhibitors highlight the best the county, region and country has to offer and means that for you, the visitor, it is simply a wonderful culinary experience.
The organisers of the Taste Cheshire Food and Drink Festival regret to announce the cancellation of the camping element of the festival, scheduled for March 28th – April 1st, 2024, at Chester Racecourse.
This difficult decision was made following a recent assessment by the Chester Racecourse grounds team, who deemed the camping area unsuitable for use due to current ground conditions.
All ticket holders who purchased camping packages will be contacted directly. They will be offered a full refund or the option to transfer their booking to the Taste Cheshire Food and Drink Festival in 2025.
We are pleased to confirm that the Taste Cheshire Food and Drink Festival itself will proceed as planned! Every effort has been made to ensure a fantastic experience for all attendees, regardless of the weather.
Additional measures taken include:
- Increased marquee space:Â We have added extra marquees to provide more covered areas for food and drink stalls, as well as seating for guests.
- Hard standing event:Â All public areas are located on hard standing surfaces to minimise any disruption due to weather conditions.
