Now known as the UK’s biggest food and musical festival tour, Pub in the Park is back to bring you the best food and music this 2021! In 2019, around 12,000 people joined the pub in all eight locations to celebrate life and have fun with everyone in the crowd. This year, Pub in the Park is super thrilled to once again let people taste the award-winning food and drinks made by amazing chefs and the best music of all time while bonding with the best people in their lives.
The festival is most famous for the cheap but amazing food people can buy from the parks in different locations. All kinds of drinks are offered as well, and people can buy as many beverages as they can! Chefs are also invited annually to cook in front of a live audience, and kids are also given a space where they can do crafts and other engaging activities. Of course, last but not the least, the main stage is where people will hear all the amazing and incredible bands the park has invited to entertain the crowd.
The ticket prices vary, including additional transaction and booking fees. Everyone needs to have their own ticket, including children six years old and above. There are also two kinds of tickets, each for the afternoon and evening sessions, so make sure you decide when you’d like to attend the festival. If you want to enjoy both sessions, you, then, need to purchase two tickets. The good news is that there is a weekend ticket available, which you can obviously use across the weekend to enjoy all the sessions during this time. The tickets are on sale for a limited period this year, so grab you tickets as soon as you can say “pub”!
For this year, there are still eight locations for the festival. On June 18-20, they will be at Bath. Next stop will be Dulwich on June 26-27.
