FOOD AND DRINK 2026
A great selection of food and drink again this year to keep you coming back for more.
First though, a heads-up for the bar arrangements. We use souvenir reusable cups. These are £2 each and you can take them home at the end of the festival. Alternatively you can bring your own - as long as they're not made of glass and are marked for volume.
Here's the food traders for 2026 - lot's of familiar faces (including the return of Chaat-It from 2024 and Hungry Toad from quite a few years ago). Anna Loka is a new vegan trader, and we have the return of the grocery shop - Olive Deli.
