What's On in 2025
Each year, the National Geographic Traveller (UK) Festival attracts some of the most exciting names from the world of food, whether its decorated chefs, TV personalities or cookbook writers. Head to our Main Stage for your chance to watch them recreate their signature dishes while offering up insights into their cooking philosophies.
Looking to broaden your repertoire of dishes? Then head to our Saffron and Cinamon Theatres, where chefs representing cuisines from around the globe will show you how to perfect carefully selected local specialities. Expect a mix of classic dishes and lesser-known favourites — from stews and sauces to dips and desserts.
Back by popular demand, our workshops will break down the dos and don’ts of food photography, whether you’re in the street or sitting down to eat. Led by professional photographers and regular contributors to National Geographic Traveller (UK), these sessions will show you how to make your images look delicious.
New for 2025 – for the first time visitors to the National Geographic Traveller (UK) Food Festival can upgrade their experience with a VIP ticket. Holders will receive priority access to the festival and to booking for add-ons, access to the VIP lounge, a glass of fizz and a goodie bag. Tickets are limited to 200 per day, so book early.
