What to expect from Powderham Food Festival

Powderham Food Festival is back and bigger than ever!

Join Powderham on the 5th and 6th of October 2024 from 10am to 5pm for the return of our annual foodie event, showcasing over 150 of the finest food and drink producers from the South West. Whether you’re a Powderham Food Festival regular, a first-time foodie fanatic, or simply looking for a fun weekend activity for the family, this event is not to be missed.

Explore our stunning grounds and sample a diverse range of food, from delicious locally farm-reared beef burgers to sweet cookie sandwiches. And what better way to wash it down than with champagne cider brewed right here in Exeter?

Throughout the day, there will be demonstrations from local suppliers, the return of the chilli tasting competition, climbing walls, face painting, axe throwing, and more activities to keep everyone entertained. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy a cream tea experience in the stunning music room within the castle. This is an additional cost and can be pre-booked closer to the event.

Tickets: £5 per adult, kids under 16 go free, dogs are most welcome and Powderham members go free!
