PUB in the Park is celebrating its "biggest year yet" as tickets for Sunday have already sold out.

The music and food festival in Higginson Park is under the creative curatorship of famous chef Tom Kerridge, and is expected to register its biggest turnout this year.

Sunday tickets for Pub in the Park have already sold out, while Friday and Saturday tickets are nearing depletion. 

To be held across the scenic suburbs of Marlow, Chiswick, Reigate and St Albans, the festival is a dynamite fusion of culinary delights, entertainment and live music headlined by artists such as Van Morrison.

The 2024 edition is slated to be a notch higher than its predecessors, featuring new chefs, restaurants, drinks and experiences.

The spotlight is on celebrating British pub culture over four exquisite summer weekends. 

Pub in the Park 2024 has compiled an impressive line-up of chefs gracing the festival for the first time.

This includes the likes of Mary Berry, Gennaro Contaldo, Sabrina Gidda, Becky Excell, David Lagonell, Emily Scott, Big Has, Tom & Robert Aikens and Jeremy Chan.

The festival patrons can savour delectable food from some of Britain’s top-rated restaurants, alongside a host of both established favourites and exciting new offerings making their debut at the festival. 

Among the pioneering establishments are The Abbey Inn by Tommy Banks, The Orange Public House, Hangfire BBQ, Temper and The DJ BBQ Smoker.

Guests can also explore some of 2024’s Top 50 UK Gastropubs, including the Star Inn, the Kentish Hare and the Bull & Last. 

Expected to dazzle again are culinary talents from Tom Kerridge’s two Michelin-starred The Hand & Flowers, Angela Hartnett’s Michelin-starred Cafe Murano and Riwaz by Atul Kochhar.

Celebrity chefs such as Jose Pizarro, Michel Roux Junior, Candice Brown, Simon Rimmer, Andi Oliver, Thom Bateman, and Atul Kochhar are also set for a comeback. 

Adding to the festival thrill in 2024, Sunday Brunch star Simon Rimmer is set to unveil his brand new touring live music and food podcast series, Pod in the Park.

The podcast features an all-star cast of Simon’s friends, including Example, Mel C, Tom Kerridge, Angela Hartnett, and Andi Oliver, among others. Angela Hartnett will also kickstart her Cafe Murano Book Club. 

For those craving some fire-cooked food, newly introduced fire food restaurants stand next to the renovated Firepit theatre.

Specialist firepit chefs from Temper and Hangfire BBQ Smokehouse will be serving mouth-watering dishes cooked over the open fire.

Elsewhere, the new Wing Rave stage combines the flavoursome expertise of chef Jack Blumenthal and his Ginger Wings team with a fantastic lineup of DJs. 

For 2024, a major draw is expected to be the new Kitchen Studio, a bustling hub of food chat, live Q&As, celebrity interviews, live demos and masterclasses, alongside live chef challenges and a foodie pub quiz with the MasterChef: The Professionals stars. 

A knockout music lineup characterises Pub in the Park.

Confirmed performances from Van Morrison, Busted, McFly, Paloma Faith, Sam Ryder, Gabrielle and Olly Murs are among the long list of attractions, with more announcements yet to come.

This year promises an unforgettable summer of food, drink, and music at Pub in the Park.
