The Sausage & Cider Festival returns to Quex Park in Birchington!
12pm - 10pm
The Sausage & Cider Festival will also return to Thanet’s Quex Park on Saturday 18th July 2026, bringing back its huge outdoor stage and a full day of live entertainment for all ages. The festival promises a lively atmosphere packed with music, food and festival fun.
This year, festivalgoers can enjoy 30+ cider flavours, alongside craft beer, spirits, wine, cocktails and soft drinks. Food lovers can choose from 20+ sausage varieties, including flavours such as maple and chilli, as well as vegetarian and cheese options.
The event will once again feature a large festival market and on-stage sausage eating competitions, adding to the day’s high-energy entertainment.
Adding to the excitement, this year’s event will be headlined by actor and TV star Mathew Horne (best known for his role in Gavin & Stacey), who will take to the stage for a special DJ set packed with feel-good party anthems.
He’ll also be joined by a host of crowd-pleasing special guests, including Pat Sharp’s FunHouse Party DJ Set, bringing classic throwback tunes and party vibes, and Barrioke: The Final UK Tour, where festivalgoers can take centre stage for a mass singalong with the one and only Barry from EastEnders.
Hosting the day’s entertainment will be fan-favourite Big John BOSH!, keeping the energy high with his larger-than-life personality and festival antics throughout the event.
Families are well catered for, with a dedicated children’s stage offering a children’s disco, face painting, live entertainers and character dress-ups, making it a fun-filled day for festivalgoers of all
ages.
