Good Food Show Birmingham

The Good Food Show in Birmingham is one of the most prestigious public culinary events in the UK. Since its inception in 1991, it has captivated a growing community of food enthusiasts, amateur chefs, and connoisseurs twice a year. Organized by BBC Good Food on behalf of Immediate Live, the show has become a cornerstone of the British food scene.

Each June and November, the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham—one of the country’s largest and most modern exhibition venues—transforms into a vibrant celebration of culinary diversity. With its excellent infrastructure and convenient transport connections, the NEC provides the ideal setting for this exceptional event.

The Good Food Show offers a unique blend of food market, live entertainment, and educational experiences. Designed for the general public rather than trade visitors alone, it places a strong focus on high-quality foods, innovative kitchen solutions, and contemporary nutrition trends. Visitors can explore a wide array of offerings: handpicked regional products, street food stalls, artisanal delicacies, organic goods, and a curated selection of wines, craft beers, and spirits—complemented by expert tastings and recommendations.

A standout attraction is the live cooking shows featuring internationally renowned celebrity chefs. These chefs not only showcase their favorite recipes but also share insights into modern culinary techniques and their personal inspirations. The program is further enriched by interactive workshops and cooking classes, offering practical guidance on topics such as healthy eating, special diets, and baking arts—from gluten-free meals to plant-based cuisine.

At the heart of the event lies the intersection of enjoyment and knowledge. Expert talks on sustainable nutrition, conversations with innovative producers, and direct exchanges with top chefs create a comprehensive and inspiring experience. Sustainability runs as a central theme throughout the entire event, with a clear emphasis on regionality, quality, and conscious consumption.

The Good Food Show is more than just a fair—it’s a dynamic gathering place for anyone who values good food, creative cooking, and responsible eating. Whether you're interested in the latest culinary trends or seeking extraordinary taste experiences, this event offers inspiration, connection, and gourmet enjoyment at the highest level.

The Good Food Show will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 12. June to Sunday, 15. June 2025 in Birmingham.
