Get Ready! The Newport Food Frenzy Returns on September 13, 2025!

Mark your calendars! The Newport Food Frenzy is back and it's time to get excited! On Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 10am to 4:30pm, Newport will become a haven for food lovers. This is a free event you won't want to miss.

To create the perfect atmosphere, the High Street (from the Stafford Street roundabout to Lower Bar) and all of St. Mary's Street will be closed from 6am to 6pm. This allows us to bring you an incredible array of vendors and entertainment.

A Feast for All Senses

Get ready for a celebration of all things food and drink, with something to tantalize every taste bud. From talented home cooks to artisan producers and established eateries, the Food Frenzy will highlight the very best of Newport and Shropshire's culinary scene. You'll find everything from delicious street food, foot-long fries, gourmet burgers, posh hotdogs, Indian and Caribbean cuisine, to sweet treats like churros, doughnuts, cookies, cakes and ice cream.

The Cookery Theatre

Head over to the front lawn of Haberdashers' Adams' Grammar School for our exciting Cookery Theatre. We'll have cooking demonstrations on everything from curry to how to cook with leftovers. You can also pick up tips on wine pairings and cocktail making. The highlight of the day will be a tense Cook-Off between two local businesses, promising some serious culinary competition!
