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.
