It's set to be a festive weekend of good food and drink and plenty of gift ideas, celebrity chefs and much more as the country's biggest food exhibition returns to Birmingham.

The Good Food Show Winter, sponsored by Lexus, will be a star attraction at the NEC Birmingham from November 27 to November 30, with foodies invited to sample all different kinds of food and drink and enjoy a wide range of live entertainment and culinary inspiration. 

The winter edition of the popular show will provide more live experiences, brand-new food and drink exhibitors, and a stellar line-up of culinary legends in the Big Kitchen, from James Martin, Si King, Lisa Faulkner and Michel Roux with more to be announced, as they take to the stage to cook up festive feasts, seasonal treats, and Christmas magic.

Other live attractions will include the Christmas Kitchen, hosted by Chris Bavin, which will feature the likes of Chariya Khattiyot, Ping Coombes and The Happy Pear making their favourite festive treats.

One of the major aspects of the Good Food Show is the exhibitors and, for this year, the event is bringing together hundreds of handpicked producers, from big-name brands to small artisan creators, such as The Cheshire Cheese Company, Atrangi and Benona Chocolates, to name a few.
