THE WORLD’S FIRST PAELLA FAIL CHAMPIONSHIPMake a paella. Try not to fuck it up.
Sunday 20 September 2026 · Walthamstow Sunday Social Market · London E17 7JH
London Paella School & Paella Shack present the World’s First Paella Fail Championship, celebrating World Paella Day with a competition where Valencian tradition meets creativity, pressure, chaos… and the occasional spectacular mistake.
Forget everything you thought you knew about cooking competitions.
This is paella with a twist.
The Paella Fail Championship is our very British, very Valencian and slightly chaotic way of celebrating World Paella Day.
Because paella isn’t just food.
It’s tradition.
It’s culture.
It’s family.
It’s friends around a table.
And sometimes…
It’s a complete bloody disaster.
And that’s OK.
