About Bookham Food Festival

Bookham Food Festival returns for its 5th year on Saturday 5th September 2026.
 

A much loved event in the local calendar, the festival brings the community together for a full day of incredible food, inspiring conversations, and great music in the heart of Bookham.
 

Expect a fantastic selection of independent street food traders, alongside live cooking demonstrations and engaging conversations around food, nutrition, health and wellbeing in the Festival Kitchen.

Our 2026 chef lineup will be announced soon and will feature a mix of well-known chefs and exciting local culinary talent.
 

This year will also see the return of our special sit down dining experience, alongside talks and tastings from passionate local producers who will be sharing the stories behind their ingredients and creations.
 

Visitors can explore the Festival Market, filled with local artisan products, while enjoying drinks from our fully stocked bars - including Pimm’s, cocktails, wines, craft beers and soft drinks.
 

Throughout the day, the BFF DJs will keep the atmosphere buzzing with a vibrant soundtrack of funk, soul and reggae, carrying the festival spirit from afternoon into the evening.
 

Bookham Food Festival is organised by Bookham Eats Limited, a not-for-profit company established by the event’s founders.

Each year we share our profits with local charities while also reinvesting into future festivals to keep the event growing for the community.
 

If you would like to get involved as a volunteer, sponsor, trader or partner, we’d love to hear from you.

Our 2026 charities will be announced soon.
