Buyers Food & Drink Fest - 26th June 2025

Join us in the UK's only outdoor buyer's food & drink fest for travel, leisure and foodservice sector buyers.

Expect to meet over 150+ buyers and industry peers in an informal, relaxed environment. With over 8+ years of events, we've created a new event to give back to the buyers as a means of appreciation for the time they give to our Meet the Buyer event and other events we organise.

We believe in the power of authentic networking, so we've partnered with Eat Curious to host this outdoor summer event on a picturesque farm with a sit-down dinner, a day full of tastings and chatting, live music, food theatre, and even greater company.

Buyers Food & Drink Fest

Opportunities for Buyers:

  • Enjoy a few panel talks from industry peers
  • Hear from a few brands how their listings have impacted their businesses
  • Take part in fun competitions against other buyers
  • Meet industry peers in an informal, relaxed environment
  • Share tips, challenges and successes with each other
  • Enjoy great food from local brands and try new foods from a live food theatre



F&B Brands Can Expect:

  • No more cold emailing to Buyers: Meet the buyers face-to-face, form authentic connections and build long-term partnerships.
  • Increase your brand awareness. Stand out in your category: Your brand would be the only brand present under your category (limiting to 30 sponsors), bringing strategic exposure to buyers
  • Showcase and launch your products to quality buyers: Share your story and showcase your products to like-minded brands and key buyers. Your dream listing could be a tasting away.
  • 1-on-1 support for you to succeed: Our team supports you before, during and after the event to give your product the best chance of success when exhibiting and meeting the buyers.
  • Learn about travel & leisure sectors as well as other foodservice areas: Learn about how the buyers work, listen to industry experts on the speaker's panel, and gain actionable advice to break into the sector.
  • A sit-down dinner with the buyers: Enjoy great food and connect with key industry players over a gourmet meal.



Whilst companies are always competing against each other, we believe you can still make friends within the same industry and share best practices, the TickEat Travel Conference in 2023 demonstrated this.
