📸 Highlights from the 2024 National Geographic Traveller (UK) Food Festival!
Thousands gathered in London over to weekend to enjoy world-class street food, take part in hands-on workshops, indulge in tasting sessions and catch live cooking demos by top chefs like Nadiya Hussain, Matt Tebbutt, Nisha Katona and Theo Randall. A huge thank you to everyone who made it — we'll be back in 2025 with another top-class line-up and new opportunities to experience a world of flavour.
A feast for food-lovers: our highlights
There was so much to enjoy at this year’s festival. Visitors to the Cinnamon and Saffron Theatres learned how to make specialities from Ecuador, Indonesia, Antigua and more, while the Wine & Spirits Theatre provided tastings of international wines and summer cocktails. Plus, guests had the chance to try two brand-new features: the popular Food Photography Workshops and the tasting sessions, which covered chocolate, cheese and cocktails. We hope all those who were able to join us left feeling inspired to try something new, whether in the kitchen or on your next trip.
