Foodies, get ready — the wait is almost over! The Leamington Food and Drink Festival is back at the Pump Room Gardens on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September 2025, bringing with it a weekend packed with flavour, fun and festivities.

Now in its 18th year, the much-loved festival is expected to welcome thousands of visitors eager to indulge in the very best food, drink and live entertainment the region has to offer — and the best part? It’s completely free to attend.

With around 120 exhibitors, festival-goers can expect everything from sizzling street food and artisan delights to tempting treats from many of Leamington’s favourite local businesses.

This year’s Live Cookery Theatre, sponsored by Davison’s Law, is set to be a showstopper. Newcomers Rosa’s Thai, Good Food Cartel and The House will bring fresh flavours to the stage, while festival favourites including Bia’s Kitchen, Sophie Hyam and the talented team from Aubrey Allen return to wow the crowds with mouth-watering demos.

Gary Davison, Managing Director of Davison’s Law, said:
“We’re delighted to support the Leamington Food Festival this year. At Davison’s Law, we believe in being part of the communities we serve, not just professionally but personally too. This festival is a fantastic celebration of local flavour, talent and togetherness — and we’re proud to help make it happen.”

For budding chefs, the Kids Make and Bake Cookery School, run by the award-winning Get Cooking, will provide hands-on fun, alongside free face-painting (Saturday only, ages 3+) and entertainment from the ever-popular stilt-walker Arron.

Adding to the vibrant festival atmosphere, the bandstand will be alive with music all weekend. Saturday’s line-up features Reign the Girl Band, The Session and Sweet Mischief, while Sunday welcomes Big Sing Choir, Two Piece Blues and Man Made Moon. Much-loved performers including Room 17, Abi Rowberry, Sam Lawrence and Nicole will also make a welcome return.

Alison Shaw, BID Leamington Project Manager, said:
“We are extremely excited to announce this year’s line-up at the Leamington Food and Drink Festival. It’s become a real highlight of the calendar, not just in Leamington but nationally too, and is now regarded as one of the UK’s most exciting food festivals. This community-focused weekend attracts thousands of people and showcases the incredible food and drink scene here in Leamington, alongside brilliant businesses from across the region.”

The Leamington Food and Drink Festival promises two days of flavour, music and family-friendly fun — the perfect recipe for a weekend to remember.
