Stewarts Garden Centre in Christchurch is gearing up to host its first-ever ‘Grill Fest’.
It’s billed as an opportunity to level up your outdoor cooking skills – with guidance from BBQ and pizza oven professionals – while enjoying samples from outdoor cooking brands and local food and drink companies.
The festival is on Saturday June 29 and Sunday June 30 from 11–4pm in the garden centre’s back yard event space.
It will also feature live music from local bands and musicians and a bar including cocktails from Southbourne-based CONKER Distillery, local brews from Hampshire-based Pig Beer and Powder Monkey Brewing Co and Purbeck Cider.
Amy Stewart, Marketing Manager, said: “We are really excited to be launching our Grill Fest and are urging everyone to come along with friends and family to enjoy a superb afternoon out, live music and the many mouth-watering options that will be on offer.
“There will be live cooking demonstrations and a chance to ‘try before you buy’ on some of the current, hottest outdoors brands such as Christchurch-based Gozney pizza ovens, and Ooni, Kadai, Weber, Traeger, YETI and more.
“If you’re wondering which is the perfect pizza oven for you, or looking to move from gas to smoky wood pellet BBQing, Grill Fest is a brilliant opportunity to get involved in the products that you’re considering buying and seeing and understanding first-hand how to maximise their potential with an amazing range of cooking accessories.
“There will be exclusive offers on the day including a free drink if you buy a YETI cup or bottle. There’s also £20 back for a £100 spend and £40 back with a £200 spend on outdoor cooking products and YETI.
“We will be running a raffle in aid of our charity of the year, Lewis-Manning Hospice Care, with some fabulous opportunities to win YETI gear, like their famous coolboxes, drinkwear and caps as well as Lafuma chairs and more.
“It’s an event not to be missed this summer with something for everyone, including face painting for the kids and an ice cream stall, we would really love you to come along for this fun afternoon out.”
Tickets are available online at www.stewarts.co.uk/GrillFest and are priced at £20 for adults and £5 for kid (under 18s).
Tickets are half price until June 22.
