The Big Eat has opened its application form for traders across Hampshire to pitch up at next May’s food festival which supports local charities.
Hampshire vendors can now apply for a pitch to sell their produce at The Big Eat, taking place from 24th, 25th and 26th May 2025 in Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley.
Hampshire-based street food, drink, arts, crafts and produce traders are being encouraged to submit an application for their opportunity to pitch up at the popular charity festival which raised £5,000 for Hound Basics Food Bank in 2024.
Vendors will not only have the opportunity to showcase their delicious offerings to thousands of foodies, but will also be competing for a prestigious Hampshire Street Food Award, giving them the recognition they deserve throughout the county.
The Big Eat is also on the lookout for talented musicians and bands to join the lineup and bring their music to the vibrant festival atmosphere.
Director of the Big Eat CIC, Jeremy Gaskin, said: “Participating in The Big Eat is not only an opportunity to serve up incredible produce, but also a chance for vendors to gain significant recognition throughout the Hampshire community.
“We had more than 28,000 attendees last year – meaning our festival is a fantastic way for Hampshire businesses to elevate their brand and connect with a passionate audience.
“The Big Eat has now established itself as a much-loved annual event that sees the community come together to celebrate good food and have good fun!”
