About

Back by popular demand, the Jempson's Festival returns this year, bigger, better, and bursting with even more to enjoy. From 25th to 27th June, both our Peasmarsh and Rye stores will transform into lively festival hubs packed with delicious food and drink samples, possible live entertainment, and plenty of family-friendly fun throughout the weekend. Visitors can explore a wide variety of local flavours, discover exciting products, and soak up the vibrant festival atmosphere while enjoying special experiences across both locations. One of the highlights of this year's event will be an exclusive cooking demonstration from celebrity chef James Martin on Friday 26th June. Tickets are required for this special event, giving guests the chance to watch James in action and enjoy an unforgettable culinary experience. Whether you're a foodie, music lover, or simply looking for a brilliant day out, the Jempson's Festival promises flavour, fun, and festival spirit for everyone.
