DukeFest 2026

Get ready for two unforgettable days of food, music and community at DukeFest, taking place July 11-12. This exciting summer festival brings people together for some incredible food by our Brewmish chefs, live entertainment and a great cause.

Across the two days, you can explore five BBQ stations, each serving up their own mouth-watering dish. From smokey classics to bold, creative flavours, there’s something for every BBQ lover to enjoy.

We will also feature live music throughout the weekend, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax, eat and celebrate with friends and family.

Best of all, DukeFest proudly supports the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) community, helping raise awareness and funds for an important cause while bringing the community together for an unforgettable and fun weekend!

Tickets are £10 per person per day, £5 for 12-17 year olds and free for under 12’s
