The Festival

The highlight of the Chester Food, Drink & Lifestyle Festival is the ‘Taste and Lifestyle Festival’ which is held in the beautiful Chester Racecourse. Set on the banks of the River Dee in the heart of the city, the very best producers, farmers, craft makers and chefs descend on the Roodee for three delicious days of all things food, drink and lifestyle.

Treat your senses to an explosion of tastes, smells and sights of the very finest food and drink Cheshire has to offer. Meander through the many stalls and sample mouth watering cheeses, ice-cream, fudge, chocolate and then fill your shopping bags with delicious freshly baked bread, the freshest of fish and perhaps, if you’re adventurous, the more unusual such as chocolate beer, ostrich meat and wild boar salami!
