The UK's biggest BBQ festival is back in 2023. Smoke and Fire Festival has built a reputation as the premier outdoor cooking festival (and an award-winning family festival), featuring street food vendors, chefs, pitmasters, grillmasters, butchers, bakers, demos, music, entertainment, and more. This is the second of our festivals on the August bank holiday weekend. Smoke and Fire Maldon takes place at Promenade Park from the 26th to 28th of August and includes the coveted British Open Freestyle BBQ Championships™
