This year, The Big Feastival will kick-off on Friday with British New Wave band The Human League, who achieved huge popularity in the 1980s. On Saturday night, the festival will welcome Anne-Marie, whose worldwide appeal is nothing short of monumental. And Sunday night will see an anthemic close with UK rock royalty Stereophonics - the Welsh BRIT award-winning rockers with a back catalogue like no other.

Also on the stage, expect Jake Bugg, Jax Jones, Gabrielle, Sam Ryder, Lola Young, Alfie Templeman, House Gospel Choir, The Futureheads, Thomas Headon, and much more!

Food & Drink

You will be spoilt for choice with the decadent dining. Supper clubs, street food and delicious pop-ups mean there is something for everyone! Not only does the festival have the best food around, but it also has the best foodies in the business appearing at the festival.

The festival promises a full schedule of award-winning chefs and culinary talent across the kitchen stages for live demos, talks and interviews with world-famous gourmet gurus.

The line-up of culinary gurus putting the ‘feast’ in Feastival includes Clare Smyth (the first British woman to be awarded three Michelin stars), Tom Barnes (Executive Chef of Simon Rogan Restaurants in the North West), Thomasina Miers (cook, food writer and television presenter), and Ching-He Huang (International Emmy nominated, Award winning TV chef and cookery author), amongst others.

For those keen to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in, you’ll be able to hone your cookery skills with your friends and family whilst making delicious treats in the Cook with M&S Food cookery school. Or sit back and watch an incredible line-up of chefs host an array of demonstrations across the weekend in the NEFF Big Kitchen.

The M&S Little Cooks tent will provide an amazing opportunity for children to learn about food and get stuck into cooking with truly interactive classes.

Family

Family entertainment is also at the forefront of the Feastival’s programming. Little festival-goers will be wowed with the highest calibre of enchanting performances, wild workshops, crafting, meet & greets with some of their favourite characters, vintage fairground, and so much more.

Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park team are setting up camp at this year’s Big Feastival, giving festival-goers the chance to meet some of their favourite furry and feathered friends. And children’s TV Megastar Justin Fletcher will be offering a fun-filled festival experience for all ages on Saturday.
