A foodie festival in the Cotswolds countryside has been named the very best in the UK.

Fiery demonstrations, Michelin-star chefs and scrumptious street food are just a few things you can expect if you are heading to a food festival this summer.

Cooking and sharing meals are great ways to bring people together and these annual events, which are tailor-made for foodies and families, accomplish this on a large scale.

Big Feastival, The Cotswolds, August 23-25

Once a year, rock and roll legend Alex James, best known as the bassist of the rock band Blur, opens up his 200-acre farm to the public for the highly anticipated Big Feastival.

Talented chefs such as French chef Raymond Blanc and mother-and-daughter duo Andi and Miquita Oliver will be sharing their top culinary secrets in the Big Kitchen tent over the weekend.

Meanwhile, headliners Becky Hill, Snow Patrol and Ministry of Sound Classical will be gracing The Main Stage and are set to deliver some magical performances.

This exciting three-day event is perfect for young families as there are plenty of activities such as cooking classes, discos and wild workshops to keep the little ones entertained.

Day tickets start from £93.50.
