Taste Cheshire, Chief Sponsors

The last two years have been a hugely difficult for everyone, businesses have been hit so hard and people have really missed this kind of event from their lives, Taste Cheshire are absolutely dedicated to making the 2022 event the best festival they have ever been involved with.
Cheshire Food and Drink Website, Taste Cheshire has agreed to again sponsor the event. Taste Cheshire also has over 40,000 foodies that they talk to every week, so it made perfect sense to have this special platform dedicated to this festival.

Free Kids Cooking Classes

James Holden, the Northern Director and his team of chefs last year taught over 900 children in three days in a series of sessions through out the day. These classes get very busy so book on the day early to ensure your child gets the opportunity.

Cooking up a feast at the Festival.

The Chester Food Drink and Lifestyle Festival, sponsored by Taste Cheshire, took place over August at Chester Racecourse for the 20th year in 2022 and the event saw more people cooking and being involved in cooking than ever before. It is anticipated that 2022 will see even more wanting to take part and enjoy fabulous cooking with such wonderful chefs.

One of the event highlights is the many cooking classes and demonstrations, with all the various classes and demonstrations full for every session. Festival Organiser Briony Wilson was pleased with the response and is looking forward to seeing even more people taking part in 2022.
