The South Downs Food Festival was launched by Dame Prue Leith in September 2024 with its inaugural festival featuring a rich array of food and drink from across the South Downs and beyond.
Returning for its second year on the 7th & 8th June 2025 to Stansted Park estate in the South Downs National Park, the festival will indulge in the finest Sussex and Hampshire produce, gourmet dishes, and locally brewed beverages. The festival will host vibrant marketplace with artisan producers, cookery demo tent with Michelin-starred chefs, live music, wood-fired catering, picnics, chef's table and Tea on the Terrace. The festival is a chance to explore local produce, from wild venison to hedgerow walks, pasture-fed beef to grilled corn-on-the-cob. It's a celebration of local food and drink.
There will also be a panel discussion, plus the chance to visit the beautiful Stansted House for just £5, pre-booking required. This year's event will partner with Hampshire Fare and raise fund for Rowans Hospice.
