UK BBQ Events Calendar 2026

The UK BBQ scene is growing fast, with more events, open days, and cook‑ups than ever before. From backyard gatherings to national festivals, there’s plenty happening right across the country.

This page is my best shot at pulling everything together in one place — a simple, community‑driven calendar showing what’s on and where. No brand bias, no hidden agenda, just a shared love of great food and good company.

Before anyone starts moaning — I’m not listing every single paid masterclass that’s running around the UK. There are far too many of them, and this isn’t the place for commercial promos. This calendar focuses on open events that welcome everyone, not ticketed lessons or brand marketing exercises.

If you’re hosting a BBQ event that fits that vibe — open invite, community‑focused, and all about the food — send over the details. Let’s make this the go‑to list for BBQ lovers looking to get out, meet people, and enjoy some proper smoke and fire.

Pub in the Park Marlow

14 May - 17 May
£45

Pub in the Park Marlow is back from 14th–17th May 2026, and it’s shaping up to be one for the books – not just because of the banging food, live music, and festival feels, but because it’s also the 100th anniversary of Higginson Park. That’s right, a century of history is getting the ultimate birthday bash – complete with top chefs slinging flavour, street food that’ll knock your socks off, and a stacked line-up of artists bringing the soundtrack to your sun-soaked weekend. Whether you’re there for the eats, the beats, or just a few cheeky drinks in good company, Pub in the Park serves up the lot with extra helpings of joy. Get your tickets early – it always sells out, and 2026 is going to be massive.
