Camperfest 2024

CamperFest

The organisers of the Taste Cheshire Food and Drink Festival regret to announce the cancellation of the camping element of the festival, scheduled for March 28th – April 1st, 2024, at Chester Racecourse.

This difficult decision was made following a recent assessment by the Chester Racecourse grounds team, who deemed the camping area unsuitable for use due to current ground conditions.

All ticket holders who purchased camping packages will be contacted directly. They will be offered a full refund or the option to transfer their booking to the Taste Cheshire Food and Drink Festival in 2025.

We are pleased to confirm that the Taste Cheshire Food and Drink Festival itself will proceed as planned!
