With already over 100 events planned and more than 150 businesses participating in Bath’s biggest ever ‘Feastival’, there’s sure to be something to tickle everyone’s palate. At the heart of the programme is a celebration of local restaurants and suppliers – a chance for independent businesses to make a song and dance about what they serve and how they prepare it.
From book signings to fine dining, from cookery demonstrations to restaurant promotions, this will be a Food Festival on a scale never before experienced in the city.

What’s caught my eye so far? Well, apart from the Great Bath Feast being prepared by Michelin–starred chefs in Bath Abbey (already sold out), the programme includes appearances by a list of culinary Royalty, including Mary Berry, Prue Leith and Raymond Blanc; an epicurean Safari Supper around three of Bath’s top restaurants in one evening; Bath’s baking heritage features at Sally Lunn’s with an appearance by ‘Bread Scientist’ Stan Cauvain; and No 1 Royal Crescent shines a light on puddings inspired by 18th Century recipes. On the drinks front, there are Cocktails & Canapes (Bath Priory); Gin & Tonics with Cucumber Sandwiches (Allium); and Australian Wines with Cello accompaniment (Bailbrook House); whilst the Great Western Portfolio Tasting gives a green light to taste over 100 wines!
New for this year is the Great Bath Feast Pavilion, which will allow a whole army of Chefs and Food Passionistas to take residence on Stall Street for demos and tastings. It will also see host to ‘Chilli Tuesday’ and ‘Bar Wars’, where local Mixologists will compete to produce Bath’s best cocktails.
The printed programme will be distributed from the beginning of September, but www.greatbathfeast.co.uk is already live, containing the full programme so far, with additional events being added daily. A series of restaurant promotions and the daily schedule for the Great Bath Feast Pavilion will be added over the next few weeks.
So, my advice to you is to start planning your diary for October, as tickets for many of the events are already in high demand.
Bon Appetit!
