Superb food, star headliners, and silent discos at Pub in the Park 🤩

Michelin-starred food and live music at a west London mansion

Pub in the Park is on its way back to London! In just under two weeks' time, the ultimate food and music festival — the brainchild of gastropub maestro Tom Kerridge — takes over Chiswick House & Gardens, and the line-up's looking very tasty indeed...

From Friday 1 to Sunday 3 September you're invited to eat, drink, dance and be merry in the grounds of west London's neo-Palladian villa. Each day is hosted by a different celebrity chef: Andi Oliver on Friday, Hairy Biker Si King on Saturday, and Tom Kerridge on Sunday. They'll be leading live cookery demos alongside other culinary stars such as DJ BBQ and Chris 'Chops' Taylor, who both lead sizzling barbecue sessions over at The Firepit. On top of all that, you can get your hands on exquisite £7 dishes from top pubs and restaurants.

As for the music? Expect plenty of familiar faces — this year's mainstage headliners are Ronan Keating, McFly, The Hoosiers, and legendary rockers Squeeze. Plus there are pop-up parties, silent discos, a brand new bandstand stage, and even a family disco rave (just one of many kid-friendly activities on offer!) Click the big blue button to book your tickets, and get ready to see out summer in style.
