We are excited to share that CHANCE Clean Cider will be the headline sponsor at this year’s revamped Cheshire & North Wales Food & Drink Festival. Let’s dig into what this year has in store for the foodies and drink lovers of Chester and beyond.
What is the Cheshire & North Wales Food and Drink Festival - and what's changed this year?
The Cheshire & North Wales Food and Drink Festival runs from Friday 3rd April to Sunday 5th April 2026. The weekend's agenda is jam packed with activities for the whole family to enjoy from live music to funfair rides, delicious food and drinks, live chef demos, talks and more! We'll be joined by celebrity chefs who will be cooking live and hosting talks across the event.
Dating back to 2009, the locally-loved festival has been taken over by the same team behind DEVA Fest to revive the food and drinks festival at Cheshire Racecourse, and it's set to be the best one yet.
Why is CHANCE excited to sponsor the Cheshire Food Festival?
Your favourite non-alcoholic apple cider brand, CHANCE, has chosen to sponsor one of the best food events in Cheshire. Well naturally, we couldn't miss the opportunity to bring refreshing cider into one of the first live music and foodie scenes in the festival calendar.
It's also no secret that the moderation lifestyle is no fad, making it more important than ever for festivals to adapt to this change of pace in British drinking culture.
We also couldn't pass up the chance to help revitalise a family-friendly festival so everyone can enjoy the taste of a great cider in the sun (fingers crossed), without the fuzzy head the next morning. We'll be joined by other drinks brands at the Chester festival this year including Henstone Distillery and the Salford Rum Company.
What can visitors expect from the Cheshire Food and Drink Festival in 2026?
With the addition of a campsite in 2026, you can expect this year's event to feel more festival-like than ever before. There will be a kids zone, a DEVA Fest sponsored live music stage and a Beer & Cider area for the enthusiasts! Better yet, the day tickets will be ranging from £5 for a child to £10 for an adult. What's not to like?
By attending this year you'll be helping out by tucking in and supporting the local food and drink businesses. There's already a wide range of vendors confirmed. So there you have it, Easter weekend is set for the people of Chester, Cheshire and North Wales. Come and enjoy food, drinks and music for everyone!
