The Big Eat food festival will be returning to Netley in May 2025, after feeding a whopping 28,000 people who attended last year’s event.
The Big Eat is returning to Royal Victoria Country Park for the fourth year in a row after securing headline sponsorship for the second year from family owned and award-winning motor group Snows Toyota.
On the 24th, 25th and 26th May 2025, the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley,
Southampton, will be filled with tasty street food and drinks vendors from across the south in a celebration of local food and talent with all the profits being donated to local food banks. These talented vendors will compete head to head for the chance to win a prestigious Hampshire Street Food Award!
There will be live music and entertainment for all ages to enjoy at this free-to-attend event, festival, which fed a whopping 28,000 foodies last year!
This year’s event is shaping up to be bigger than ever thanks to sponsorship from Snows Toyota, which has eleven motor dealerships across Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex and Devon.
Director of the Big Eat CIC Jeremy Gaskin said: “The Big Eat has now established itself as a much-loved annual event that sees the community come together to celebrate good food and have good fun.
“Seeing people from all walks of life enjoying food for a good cause is a great feeling and sums up why we founded the festival. It has been growing each year since our first event back in 2022 thanks to incredible support from the public and our team of dedicated volunteers.
“We can’t wait to experience another incredible weekend with you all.”
