The Sutton Coldfield Food Festival – the town’s biggest event of the year – was a sizzling success. The sun shone as more than 100 food and drink traders filled The Parade in the town centre from Friday, 11 to Sunday, 13 April.

A Culinary Delight

Following the record-breaking success of last year’s festival, organisers announced that the 2025 event featured even more culinary delights and family fun. From sizzling street food to indulgent desserts, local specialties, and refreshing drinks, there was something to please every palate.

A Collaborative Effort

The three-day event is a collaboration between Visit Royal Sutton Coldfield BID and LSD Promotions, aiming to celebrate local flavors and community spirit.

Free Entertainment for All

The festival also offered a range of free entertainment, including the Comedy Waiters Duo and Stilt-Walking Chefs, who appeared on Saturday and Sunday throughout the day. Additional activities included free face painting, glitter tattoos for children, and live music performances.

Community Excitement

Speaking before the event, Michelle Baker, BID manager, expressed her excitement: “We are excited to bring the Food Festival back to Sutton Coldfield for a second year. This event has truly become the town’s biggest free event, and we’re thrilled to showcase the best local and regional food once again. From delicious street food to fantastic family-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone. It’s a great opportunity to bring people together, celebrate our town, and support local businesses with an influx of visitors!”
