The Big Eat Festival

Celebrating Street Food in Hampshire
The Big Eat isn’t just a feast for your senses, it’s a feast for your heart too! Born from the Hampshire Street Food Awards, this vibrant festival celebrates the county’s best street food while giving back to the community.

Returning in 2026 for our 5th year, The Big Eat remains free entry to the public with mouthwatering street food, and foot-stomping tunes, as well as children’s entertainers, making it a festival for the whole family.

Best of all, every bite and beat supports local food banks and charities – making your indulgence all the more delicious

With a huge variety of food traders, market stalls and fully licensed bars on-site, plus a jam-packed schedule on our Main Stage, grassroots performances on the Community Stage and laid-back live sets on the Acoustic Stage, there will be something for everyone at The Big Eat in 2026.

Entry is free. Normal parking charges apply.
