About
The Big Eat food festival will be returning to Netley in May 2025, after welcoming a whopping 28,000 people to last year’s event.
The Big Eat is returning to Royal Victoria Country Park for the fourth consecutive year after securing headline sponsorship from family owned and award-winning motor group Snows Toyota for the second year. The festival will run for three days: the 24th, 25th and 26th May 2025.
The free-to-attend festival is a celebration of local food and talent with all the profits being donated to local food banks. There will be live music and entertainment for all ages to enjoy - including a silent disco, a petting zoo and a dog show.
At The Big Eat 2025, street food vendors from across Hampshire and beyond will be battling it out for the coveted Hampshire Street Food Awards! With a panel of expert judges and public votes, vendors will compete for prestigious titles like Best Burger, Best Vegan, Best Pizza, and many more. This festival is about showcasing the incredible talent and creativity within the local street food scene. So, if you're a foodie, you won't want to miss out on tasting the best dishes while supporting local businesses.
