The South Downs Food Festival returns to Stansted Park , bringing a spectacular weekend of food, drink and celebration!
The South Downs Food Festival returns to Stansted Park on the 6th and 7th of June 2026, bringing a spectacular weekend of food, drink, and celebration. Partnering with Chefs In Schools and raising funds for Rowans Hospice, we are proud to champion the region’s finest producers.
Held in the stunning grounds of Stansted Park Estate, the mansion provides a spectacular backdrop to the festival, which has quickly become a highlight of the UK's culinary calendar.
Stroll through our vibrant marketplace, where farmers, foragers, fermenters, and artisan makers showcase the best seasonal fruits, vegetables, and handcrafted delights. Indulge in charcuterie and cheeses, kombucha and kefir, burgers and beer—all while celebrating the incredible ingredients of the South Downs.
