Full schedule revealed for Ashford Food & Drink Festival 2025

On Saturday 28 June, the Ashford Food & Drink Festival will be returning for its third year and its eagerly awaited schedule can now be revealed. 

With over 60 food and drink stalls throughout the Ashford high street, it’s set to be a day dripping in flavour and excitement. 

Also, over at the Community Spotlight Stage, you’ll find local businesses such as Kokoro, Valerie’s and Social Enterprise Kitchen taking part in demonstrations and talks alongside Sam Griffin from Radio Ashford, who will be DJing throughout the day.

Food themed street theatre performances from Applause Touring and Beautiful Creatures Theatre will be on hand to entertain everyone throughout the high street – including a sinister plot to cook Caspian the Crab and some very contentious ice-cream sellers!

At Elwick Place, Ashfood! will be serving up global street food, local performing arts groups, live music and more. Meanwhile, The Ashford Cinema will be running pizza workshops and will screening a special showing of ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’.

Over at the bandstand, Craftship Enterprise are running a special cardboard kitchen on the bandstand alongside face painting and the chance to take part in The Great Sarnie Search.

This is a fun and adventurous exploration through the Town Centre for children, where their quest is to collect ingredient stickers and build their own paper snack!

Also, residents are encouraged to enter the Great Ashford Sandwich Competition, which is hosted in conjunction with KMFM. Entrants have the chance to win a £200 voucher for The Entertainer in County Square AND a £150 voucher for a mouthwatering meal at The Everest Inn! If that wasn’t enough, the winning sandwich will be on menus at Café M, Low Key Taproom and Matches for the entire month of July!

As a prelude to the festival on Friday 27 June, the much sought after Evening with Wine Garden of England and Boys Hall event will be returning to Revelation Ashford on Friday 27 June. 

Featuring live jazz music, a locally curated tasting course and no less than eight wine tastings – in addition to a welcome drink – this is an event not to be missed! You can book your ticket through the Revelation Ashford website.
