The UK’s biggest food and music festival tour is set to return to St Albans next September.
Pub in the Park, curated by celebrity chef Tom Kerridge, will take over Verulamium Park from September 5 to 7, 2025.
Returning for a sixth year, it promises the usual exciting mix of gourmet food, top-notch music, and a lively atmosphere that’s hard to beat.
This year’s musical line-up is already generating buzz. Kicking off on Friday night, festival-goers can look forward to five-time UK number-one artist Dizzee Rascal following an energising DJ set by Gok Wan.
Saturday evening will bring a unique blend of nostalgia and club culture. Ministry of Sound Classical will perform club classics with a full orchestra and a DJ set from the legendary Judge Jules.
The festival will end on a high note with British band Squeeze, known for their hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, delivering an unforgettable Sunday session.
New VIP experience options for 2025
For the first time, Pub in the Park offers festival-goers the option to get closer to their favourite acts with a ‘pit pass’, which grants direct access to a front-stage area.
Additionally, premium ticket upgrades are available, including a ‘table upgrade’ option that reserves a private table for up to six guests, complete with welcome drinks.
A feast for food lovers
While the musical line-up is obviously a major draw, Pub in the Park is equally renowned for its gourmet offerings.
Local and national chefs and restaurants will serve a variety of small plates inspired by their culinary journeys, showcasing a taste of their signature dishes.
Though the list of chefs and restaurants has yet to be announced, the event promises a stellar selection, and further details are expected in the coming weeks.
A celebration of British pub culture
Founded by Tom Kerridge, Pub in the Park is a tribute to British pub culture, bringing together award-winning chefs, world-class food, and uplifting music to create a joyful, social experience.
This year’s event drew more than 15,000 attendees, making next year’s festival one of the most anticipated on the city’s calendar.
