At the heart of the festival, Cheshire Fest’s vibrant Street Food Village and social seating areas are designed to keep festival-goers fuelled, refreshed and relaxed throughout the day. A carefully curated line-up of premium street food traders will serve everything from gourmet classics and global flavours to vegetarian and vegan dishes, alongside sweet treats and great coffee, showcasing the very best of regional food talent.
