Tickets are now on sale for Pub in the Park 2026, with Craig David, Razorlight and McFly set to headline the Marlow event.

The popular food and music festival is set to return to Higginson Park from May 14 to 17, promising four days of eating, drinking and entertainment by the riverside.

Billed as one of the country’s best-loved foodie weekends, the event will once again combine top chefs and pop-up restaurants with a packed programme of live performances from major music acts.

Performers announced include Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, Craig David, Gabrielle, McFly and Razorlight, among others.

Organisers have also unveiled a standout culinary line-up for 2026, featuring some of the UK’s best-known chefs.

Among those appearing is chef, author and presenter Si King, who will be joined by Raymond Blanc OBE and another firm favourite with food lovers, James Martin.

Returning to the festival is Tommy Banks, the youngest British chef to earn a Michelin star, alongside his pub, The Abbey Inn.

TV presenter Matt Tebbutt will also appear, joined by special guest and wine expert Helen McGinn for a mix of practical tips, insights and demonstrations.

Festival favourite Genevieve Taylor will bring her celebrated seasonal British cooking back to the park, while twice Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar, who runs Vaasu and Sindhu in Marlow, returns with flavours from his restaurant Kanishka.

Back by popular demand are The Oarsman, The Star Inn, local heroes Ginger Wings, and Raymond Blanc’s The George & Dragon. Rick Stein is also returning with his coast-inspired menu.

New for 2026 is Temper, which will serve up fire-led dishes and its well-known tacos.

Also joining the festival are Six by Nico, with its playful and immersive dining style, Oxmoor Farm with ingredient-led countryside cooking, and Tommy’s Pie Shop for classic comfort food.

For those after global flavours, Sticky Mango will bring Thai dishes, while Adam Handling’s The Loch & The Tyne will offer a modern British menu with a refined pub twist.

Alongside the chef demonstrations, Fire Pit Stage, Kitchen Studio and live music, organisers say 2026 will introduce brand-new content.

This includes an all-new Kitchen Disco, a Book Club Tent featuring talks with authors, and a Drinks Masterclass Tent, where experts will host sessions on favourite tipples.

Standard tickets start from £47, with VIP packages also available.

A new premium add-on for 2026 is the Riverside Enclosure, offering a reserved table in a private riverside area, a welcome drink and table service throughout the festival.

Platinum ticket holders will also enjoy an exclusive Beefy Boys BBQ platter.
