You are here: RHS Malvern Spring Festival / NEW Features for 2014

New to 2014, food moves forward to enhance its presence at the festival. Introduced to compliment our established and popular gardening strands of the festival, 'food' ensures that the festival remains relevant and in tune with lifestyle interests.

As a signal of intent, we have chosen two of the UK's most popular and talented celebrity chefs, James Martin and Rachel Allen, to headline food. Alongside James and Rachel, local chefs will also be featured demonstrating and discussing regional, national and international food trends.

Food and Drink Pavilion

This new specialist pavilion incorporates a variety of food producers along with a Food Court offering a range of foods including regional, national and international.
NEW location in the marquee that links Wye and Avon Hall off row 2.
