FOOD AND DRINK
FESTIVAL 2026

The 22nd Bridport Food Festival takes place on Saturday June 13th.

This much-loved annual event is showcasing a delicious mix of classic favourites with appetising innovations to appeal to all generations.

Nearly 100 traders from Bridport and the local area will be selling great food and drink, both to try at the event or to take home and enjoy.  

From wild venison burgers to oysters, exciting mushrooms and Dorset cheeses – naturally with plenty of samples to try too!  

The Festival prides itself on providing unique, fascinating activities – all free and requiring no advance booking – from demonstrations by talented chefs in the Cookery Theatre to community involvement in the Bridport Food Matters marquee and hands-on sessions for younger foodies with Creative Young Cooks, there are new experiences for all ages.

On the night of Friday 12th the Festival Feast commences the weekend’s celebrations. Dining tickets for this exciting collaboration of local chefs are limited and available here.

Bridport’s Beer Festival also begins on Friday evening, with a selection of over 100 different ales & ciders plus Pimms & wine and live music – all on Askers Meadows.
