In between watching the experts in action, visitors can delve to new depths of culinary delight down 'Street Food Alley', tucking into an exciting menu of dishes featuring the best of the British street food scene.
Highlights include Asian steamed buns from double award winning Yum Bun, mouthwatering meatballs from The Bowler and Napoli inspired street food from Pizza Pilgrims, with many more to be announced.
It's not just about tasting great food, festival goers can get stuck in with a whole host of hands-on foodie features including the Electrolux Chefs' Secrets Cooking Classes, the Weber BBQ Experience, The Table Sessions and of course, the return of Alex James's very own Cheese Hub.
What's more, visitors can shop till they drop from an award winning selection of artisan producers and boutique brands.
Brand new for 2013, The Big Feastival is delighted to welcome TV personality and the nation’s favourite farmer Adam Henson with his incredible Cotswold Farm Park to the Little Dudes Den. Furry and feathered friends aside, big kids and little ones will find fun and games galore with an action-packed family programme of activities including art and craft workshops, kids' kitchen masterclasses, country fayre games, welly wanging, bubble shows, a vintage funfair and the return of our haystack mountain.
I'm very excited to have such great foodies and musicians back on the farm. The whole weekend was so enjoyable last year and Jamie and I are working to make it even better for 2013
