About

The date has been confirmed for Southsea Food Festival 2024! Portsmouth's ultimate family foodie event returns on 20 and 21 July, with stalls from some of the best food and drink producers in the area.

There will be scores of food and drink stalls along Palmerston, Clarendon and Osborne Roads, as well as Avenue de Caen. A whole host of local restaurants and businesses will be displaying their wares, offering food from the South Coast that takes inspiration from far flung corners of the world. You can also see meals being produced or pick up some new skills with live displays from the pros.

Expect a wide range of products, with everything from chocolate and cake to sausages, cheese, condiments and even Portsmouth aged rum. There will be plenty of options for vegetarians, vegans and anyone avoiding gluten or dairy too.

With an acoustic live stage featuring local musical talent, family entertainment, and loads of great tips from chefs and industry experts, get ready for a great day out!

Please note, with this event taking over streets around Palmerston Road, there will be some road closures in place (details below).
