Broadstairs Autumn Food Festival returns to Victoria Gardens from Friday 2 to Sunday 4 October 2026, bringing three days of food, drink and family-friendly entertainment to the Kent coast.
Around 100 independent producers and traders will showcase a wide range of local and regional produce, including artisan bread, cakes, cheeses, preserves, street food, craft drinks and gifts. Visitors can meet the people behind the products, discover new flavours, enjoy tastings and take home something special.
The festival also features live cookery demonstrations, workshops and activities, offering plenty to enjoy throughout the weekend. Its clifftop location is only a short walk from Broadstairs town centre, Viking Bay and the railway station, making it easy to combine a visit with a day beside the sea.
Admission is free and the festival welcomes visitors of all ages. It is open from 10am to 6pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 10am to 5pm on Sunday.
Broadstairs Food Festival has sustainability at its heart, supporting independent businesses, encouraging local sourcing and working to reduce waste. Come along to enjoy Kent's food and drink, meet talented producers and experience one of the area's most popular community events in a beautiful coastal setting this autumn weekend.
Free to visit
