The Brighton and Hove Food & Drink Festival

As one of the UK’s very first food and drink festivals, we’ve been championing the food, drink and hospitality industries of our city and surrounding Sussex for over 15 years.

We are a not-for-profit community interest company, run by a local business people passionate about the gastronomic offering of our region.

We run consumer events across the calendar year including Brighton Wine Week, Brighton Cocktail Week and our Autumn Harvest festival celebration. We also host business-to-business events to connect restaurants with local producers and suppliers, and support our partners through marketing and PR activity, alongside running the annual Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Awards.

We work in partnership with other like-minded food and drink festivals and organisations across the globe as part of our International Chef Exchange initiative that has seen us take chefs and producers from our region throughout Europe and as far afield as the Caribbean and Canada.

The festival organisation receives no public funding. Our activities are entirely supported by our festival partners in the industry, media partners and our generous corporate sponsors.
