Entrance to all areas of the Food Festival.

All celebrity chef cookery demonstrations are free to attend once inside the event space.

Bluewater does allow dogs in their external spaces, but sadly we cannot accommodate any dogs within the festival event space with the exception of assistance dogs.

Bluewater has 13,000 car parking spaces which are extra wide and free to use all day every day. Car parking spaces are never more than a five­ minute walk away from entrances with separate pedestrian pathways so children are not crossing busy roadways.

There are cycle bars outside House of Fraser, near the John Lewis Customer Collection Point (red car park), in the green car park and outside the Marks and Spencer food hall where bikes can be secured.

They also have designated motorcycle spaces which are situated to the left hand side of John Lewis, adjacent to the ground level of the green multi-decked car park. Look out for a cobbled area of paving where you will find bays marked out with a motorbike symbol on the floor.

There are specially designated parking bays for Bluewater guests located throughout the car parks adjacent to the entrances. Please note: Guests are advised to park in the Yellow Car Park if they need easy access to Shop Mobility services. 

The festival is accessible with a wheelchair. On entry and around the festival site. There is a ramp into the marquee.

We will have seating at the event - both inside and outside.

We will be ready if you come rain or shine, but it’s always best to dress for the English weather!

80% of the event is under cover
