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.
