The Chef’s Table Event is all about meeting and learning from the best chefs and cookery schools in the UK. Watch live demonstrations, learn new skills, discover new produce, gadgets and equipment as well as enjoying some exceptional food and drink.

Our event here which will feature around 100 of the UK’s finest contemporary artists and makers, will be staged in marquees within Trentham Gardens with its vast perennial plantings providing breath-taking vistas. This stunning contemporary revival of an historic garden is amongst the very best in the UK. The gardens have been transformed over the last 15 years and are now some of the some of the finest in Britain with the revival being led by multi-Chelsea gold-medal winner Tom Stuart-Smith. 

The revival of the gardens led the Telegraph newspaper to describe Trentham Gardens as ‘The garden makeover of the decade’ and Trentham has collected an abundance of awards including being awarded a Gold Accolade by Visit England in 2015, 2016 and 2017. 

Our event here will feature around 120 exhibitors selected from the UK’s finest designer makers and contemporary artists.   It will take place within marquees within the award-winning gardens set in 125 acres of glorious grounds with the backdrop of the historic castle – the childhood home of Anne Boleyn.  Children can enjoy the fabulous adventure playground, while visitors of all ages can enjoy the challenge of finding their way through the Water Maze and the 100 year old Yew Maze.
