Easter weekend indulgence at the Broadstairs Food Festival
100 of Kent’s finest producers offering delicious sweet and savoury treats and hot food
With Spring almost in bloom and Easter just around the corner, Broadstairs Food Festival should be a key date in your holiday calendar.
The three-day weekend, which runs from Good Friday 18 to Easter Sunday 20 April, will have a basketful of foodie treats and egg-citing activities for the whole family.
It will be an Easter of indulgence, with almost 100 of Kent’s finest producers offering delicious sweet and savoury treats and hot food. The Victoria Gardens, with their unique clifftop location, will be awash with an impressive range of drinks, from local ales and ciders to luscious contributions from award-winning Kent vineyards and distilleries.
Children can hop into the Easter spirit, with the Festival Marquee brimming with family-friendly fun sessions for people of all ages, many of them free to attend. Sessions include screen-printing table mats, seaweed pressing, tasty planting and a Easter crown making.

There’s plenty of seating in the new-for-2025 vintage-styled tea parlour for those looking for a restorative pot of English Breakfast. Or you can treat yourselves to a glass of fizz in the seafood and champagne marquee.
A festival is not a festival without music, and Broadstairs won’t be the exception to the rule. There is ample outdoor seating around the bandstand, with its programme of local musicians on each of the three days.
To help keep the event free-to-enter, the festival is raising funds through an online draw. For less than a price of a cup of coffee, you could be a winner of a two-night stay in a stunning coastal apartment, courtesy of Seastay Apartments. Visit the festival website to enter.
While you are at the festival, say hello to our legendary volunteers. This free-to-attend event wouldn’t be successful without the support from our crew. It really is a community effort and the festival wouldn’t be where it is today without the hard work and dedication from our volunteers.
Opening hours: 10am-6pm on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 April; 10am-5pm on Sunday 20 April.
