Smoke & Fire<br />
For those people looking forward to the time when going<br />
out and eating well is allowed again, there’s something<br />
completely different coming to the north west this<br />
summer to tickle your taste buds.<br />
The Smoke and Fire Festival, a BBQ and outdoor cooking<br />
festival, was launched to great acclaim in 2017, attracting<br />
crowds of over 18,000. This year the Festival is going on<br />
the road, and one of the four UK venues is Victoria Park<br />
in Southport.<br />
Each festival will showcase top BBQ and outdoor cooking<br />
heroes, competitions, fabulous pop-up restaurants,<br />
two live music stages, award-winning street food, BBQ<br />
and outdoor cooking equipment demonstrations, kids<br />
entertainment, and a mini real ale and cider festival.<br />
The Smoke & Fire Festival North takes place at Victoria<br />
Park, Southport from 18th to 21st June. Tickets are<br />
available from www.smokeandfirefestival.com.<br />
