Southport Food and Drink Festival 2026

WHAT a smorgasbord of culinary delights awaited foodies at this year's Southport Food and Drink Festival, that was held on:- Victoria Park, in Southport, Merseyside, from:- Friday 29 May to Sunday, 31 May 2026. This years event was a huge success, with vibrant stands selling a wide range of tasty delights, guaranteed your taste buds watering.

The event attracted visitors from all over the UK and even some of the trades came from across the country, with thousands of people, from tourists to locals flocking to it each day. We are told that the 2026 event was its most successful year for this event, according to Sefton Council. When we asked around about this statement it was not only echoed by visitors, but by the traders themselves!

It was not only food that was on offer, as you will see in the photos, but also a few other stalls offering interesting items, from crafts to bags, even a Southport based sports fashion brand attended. This year it even had a dedicated family zone!

The weather was also amazing, not to hot or cold, helping to create a fantastic end to the May Half Term Holidays.

The only complaint was that the event did not have enough tables and chairs for all those attending... What are your thoughts about this event? Please do email our newsroom at:- News24@SouthportReporter.Com or send us a message on:- Mastodon, Facebook, or Twitter and let us know.
