About
Organisers of a hugely successful food, drink and music festival have announced plans to expand its footprint in 2024 – and are now asking traders who wish to be part of the event to apply.
Durham Cricket has confirmed Chester-le-EATS will take place on Saturday, October 5th and Sunday, October 6th and an additional 20 pitches will be available for food and drink brands, as well as craft and retail.
Ythan Sale, from Durham Cricket, who launched the event in 2022 said the festival had grown significantly in terms of visitor numbers over the two years and it was time to “really go for it” with a new festival layout that would accommodate working with more brands.
In year two, Chester-le-EATS exhibitor stands sold out within months. An additional 20 stands have been added to the event to accommodate more businesses.
Chester-le-EATS 2024 will see another top-class music line-up, a dedicated family zone, street food from around the world, and exceptional produce such as bakes and cakes, gins, rums, jams, chutney – all produced by passionate people in the North East and beyond.
Applications for Chester-le-EATS are now open. Any businesses which wish to apply can do so online at Chesterleeats website.
