What is Wing Fest?

​

Wing Fest is a celebration of the mighty chicken wing. Restaurants, street food traders, bbq teams and pop-ups compete to see who really does do the best wings in the UK.

 

All wings are £1 and will be sold in individual joints (drums or flats) to allow voters to try as many wings as possible from each of the contestants.  

 

For the greediest of wing eaters among you, the incredibly popular Wing Eating Competition takes place on both event days. 

 

Dr Sweetsmoke’s deadly Lava Wing Challenge, which causes carnage every year, will also be held on both event days this year.

​

We'll have charismatic BBQ chefs ruling the roost on the Chicken Shed stage.  Here you can expect tantalising cooking demonstrations and bbq tips.

​

Returning for 2019 will be fairground attractions, roaming musicians, live entertainment, bourbon master classes, wing roulette wheels, and new for this year, axe throwing!

​

There will be live blues music through out both event days, as well as DJs playing summer party vibe tunes into the night.
