Welcome to the Chatham Maritime Food & Drink Festival 2026. This year the event takes place over three days 23rd to 25th May 2026.

The festival continues to build on the success of previous years offering food and drink from award winning local producers. We offer a wide range of locally produced foods showcased alongside foreign gastronomic delights, together with beer, wine and cider producers to tempt the tastebuds.

This is a FREE family-friendly festival offering something for everyone to enjoy. The highlight of the event is the Medway Sunlight Rotary Dragonboat Race on the Sunday – great fun for participants and a spectacle for those watching.
