We get it, wedding fairs can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve introduced Quirky Quiet Hour (2pm-3pm)—a dedicated, low-sensory time for those who prefer a calmer browsing experience. Expect no loud music, no harsh lights, limited crowds, and a no-pressure atmosphere. Exhibitors will only chat if you want to!

The Food Museum is the UK’s only museum dedicated to food. Our mission is to connect people with where their food comes from and the impact of our choices on the environment, society, health and wellbeing: past, present and future.

Our values are that we are relevant, challenging and sustainable.

We care for over 40,000 objects, including 17 historic buildings set in 84 acres of countryside. The museum is a charity supporting the community and we undertake a wide range of projects, programmes and enterprises alongside operating a visitor attraction.

We have adopted a 7-year to grow our audiences and profile, through programmes, partnerships, capital projects and enterprise.

50% of all ticket sales will go straight to The Food Museum.
