Alcester Food Festival

The streets of Alcester will once again be filled with food, flavour and plenty to explore this Saturday 16 May, as the popular Alcester Food Festival Alcester Food Festival gets underway from around 9am and runs throughout the day.

Visitors can expect a wide mix of street food, artisan producers, and market stalls lining the town, with everything from freshly prepared hot food to local produce, baked goods and sweet treats. It’s one of those events where you can quite easily turn up for a quick look and end up staying for hours.

Alongside the food, the town itself plays a big part. Alcester’s independent shops, cafés and pubs will all be open as usual, giving people plenty to explore beyond the stalls, making it a good opportunity to support local businesses while you’re there.

Getting There – Park & Ride Details

A dedicated park and ride service will be in operation for the event, helping to ease congestion in the town centre.

Parking is available at the former GreenMech site (now Greenfab), located just off the Birmingham Road, opposite the Rugby Club and behind Kings Court Hotel.

From there, shuttle coaches will run throughout the day, taking visitors directly into the festival.

A suggested donation of £5 per car is being asked to help cover the cost of the coach service.

Cash is required, with collection points in place on arrival.

Local Scout volunteers will be on site to guide vehicles and assist with parking.
