The award winning chefs taking part in the Chef’s theatre include Tom Rhodes, MasterChef 2021 champion, Alex Webb, MasterChef: The Professionals champion 2020, MasterChef 2021 finalist Laura Michael and 2020 MasterChef finalist Sandy Tang, Michelin starred restauranteurs Mike North from Nut Tree Inn and Nick Galer from The Miller of Mansfield.

There are over 150 exhibitors showcasing their produce from around the world, the UK and, of course, Oxford. We’re particularly excited to taste cookie pie slices from the Cotswold Cookie Company in the Artisan producers village. And we’ll be sampling craft beer including hoppy American IPAs, fruity Belgian beers and malty traditional ales, from Oxford’s very own church Hanbrewery.

The festival is supporting Musicians Against Homelessness (MAH) with tickets raising money for UK-wide homelessness charity Crisis.
