On any given weekend throughout the summer, you can bet there’s a food festival happening somewhere. From a smattering of stalls in a sleepy market town to full-blown extravaganzas that can last a week, they’re guaranteed to attract crowds from near and far. But PX+ is a food festival with a difference – instead of catering to the general public, it puts on a series of workshops, talks and experiences for those who actually work in the hospitality industry, giving restaurateurs, chefs and front of house staff the opportunity to spend a weekend having fun, eating well and learning from the best.
Taking place from 17–19 August at Duchess Farms, just outside Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire, PX+ is only in its second year but will host an incredible 200 different events over the weekend – all designed for those working in food and drink. Guests can either camp for the whole weekend or buy a day ticket with full access to all the talks. Read on for an idea of what’s on, which top chefs will be in attendance and some of the more unique experiences on offer.
