UK BBQ Events Calendar
The UK BBQ scene is growing fast, with more festivals, open days, community cookouts and live-fire events popping up across the country every year.
This calendar is my best shot at bringing everything together in one place. It’s a simple, community-driven guide to what’s happening, where it’s taking place and when you can get involved. There’s no brand bias or hidden agenda, just a shared love of good food, outdoor cooking and the people who make the UK BBQ scene what it is.
The focus here is on events that are open to the wider BBQ community. I won’t be listing every paid masterclass or private cooking course taking place around the UK, as there are simply too many to keep track of. Classes may still be included where they form part of a larger festival, open day or community event.
If you’re organising a BBQ event that fits the bill, send over the details. The aim is to make this the go-to calendar for anyone looking to discover new events, meet like-minded people and enjoy some proper smoke and fire.
