Welcome to the Chester Food, Drink and Lifestyle Festival. It will be our 11th festival in 2012 and we are ready and waiting to make it the biggest and best yet. 2011 saw our 10th Anniversary and we were ecstatic with the number of people who came along to support Chester and Cheshire, some 27,000 people attended across the three days! But, with the chef demonstrations, kids workshops, CamperFest and over 120 exhibitors we will have attending, it's sure to be a brilliant weekend!

The Restaurant Garden will be back again next year where around 15 Chester & Cheshire restaurants will be showcasing their food delights!

CamperFest returns, and for those of you who would like to camp or enjoy caravanning, then all are welcome at this year’s festival. Kids of all ages will just love the cooking workshops, allowing them to get stuck in and messy as they learn all about food.

And there is more…. ‘Twice the size’ Lifestyle section, competitions, events throughout the city and the annual cheese rolling event, there is plenty to gorge yourselves on this April in Chester

Our chosen charity for this year is The Academy of Culinary Arts which is a long-term charitable project that focuses on developing an essential understanding of 'taste' and teaches children about the pleasures of eating, the provenance of ingredients and the processes by which raw materials are turned into foods.
