Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times.

Are you a meat lover? Then why not try Meatopia? This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August. In addition to a range of racially sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tasty steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demos, and attend informal meat-based workshops.

If you prefer a festival that will help you avoid any kind of meat or fish, then Vegfest is for you. This vegan-friendly event takes place in a range of UK places several times a year. Here you can enjoy a wide selection of freshly prepared vegan food, learn cooking tips and hear talks on nutrition to help you make the most of your plant-based food.

If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind, is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts over 2, 000 entrants to their traditional competition, and offers lectures and workshops on beekeeping and, of course, honey.

If that didn’t suit you, what about a festival that is dedicated merely to strawberry? Strawberry, a festival of preserves, has been running for a decade. It includes a competition to find the best homemade strawberry sauce.

If you’d prefer something with a little more kick to it, then you could attend The Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. It celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger.

While there’s no accounting for taste, the UK has something to offer most people. From large-scale festivities, to the smaller more amateur gatherings, one thing is certain: people are crazy about their food.
