Frodsham Food & Drink Festival

Frodsham Town Council has announced the return of its Frodsham Food & Drink Festival on Saturday 13th June 2026 - boasting a lineup of exciting chef demonstrations from local establishments and a thriving artisan market - following a hugely successful inaugural event in summer 2025 which attracted approx. 2,000 of people.

The event, which is free to attend, runs from 11am - 5pm at Castle Park in the heart of the historic Cheshire town which is buzzing with independent eateries, bars and pubs. An ideal day out for families and foodies, there will be a marquee where chef demonstrations take place with free tastings, a picnic area (bring your own blanket) and children’s entertainment throughout the day, including a Punch & Judy show and small fairground rides to recreate a traditional British village fete feel that fits with Frodsham’s history and strong community feel.

The chef’s demonstration marquee, equipped with a kitchen area courtesy of local kitchen designer Gabriel Kitchen Design, will showcase the local area’s outstanding artisan retailers throughout the day, with freebies and discounts to use with independent Frodsham retailers. The chef’s demonstration marquee lineup so far is: Dad’s Kitchen & Garden Man V Food challenge hosted by H E Coward butchers A demonstration by NextDoor, Frodsham’s Michelin Guide restaurant Main Street Kitchen children’s colouring competition Hot and cold food and drink will be available to purchase from various vendors, including a variety of bars selling alcoholic beverages.

Independent Street’s much-loved Artisan Market, which takes place along Main Street in Frodsham on the last Saturday of the month, will also be present, thriving with independent retailers from the Cheshire area.

“We are delighted that the Frodsham Food & Drink Festival was such a success last year and can’t wait to run it again,” says Bernie Wade from Frodsham Town Council, “Our town is filled with fantastic independent eateries and we’re able to showcase and celebrate them, plus others from surrounding local areas, in the wonderfully kept Castle Park. The fact it’s free entry also gives something back to our residents, as well as enticing visitors from out of town.” 

“We are so excited to be once again working with Frodsham Town Council on this exciting project", says Lisa Cowley, owner of Independent Street artisan market,  “events like this are a great way to bring the community together while boosting footfall and connecting visitors with local businesses. Frodsham has real market history and after the success of last year's event we can’t wait to make this year bigger and better. There is a lot planned for the day! We hope you can make it!”
