Feast promises to be a real treat at Waddesdon Manor

Waddesdon Manor's hugely popular Feast Festival is looming large on the horizon and promises to be a weekend of entertainment and culinary delight.

Inspired by the historical ‘Baron’s Treat’ when Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild would invite local people to enjoy a tea party in the gardens of Waddesdon Manor, Feast invites visitors to see the Manor transformed with elaborately decorated tables, where visitors can take a seat and enjoy a picnic or sample some of the food on offer from one of our 60 handpicked artisan food and wine stalls.

A range of captivating performances will be on show to delight and surprise young and old alike throughout the two-day event on June 17 and 18 (10am-5pm).

Admission during the Feast Festival includes entry to the gardens, wine cellars and all entertainment.

Performances on the day will include:

‘Alice de Rothschild’ will be waiting to greet visitors in the Breakfast room to answer questions and talk about the beautiful gardens at Waddesdon and the famous ‘Miss Alice’s Rules’.
