The Surrey Hills Fire & Food Fair will return to Hogs Back Brewery in Tongham on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October 2026, bringing live-fire cooking, local food and drink, artisan producers and family activities to the Surrey Hills.
Organised by Surrey Hills Enterprises in partnership with Hogs Back Brewery, Porky Whites and The BBQ Magazine, the two-day event follows its inaugural fair in 2025.
The programme will feature barbecue demonstrations, cooking competitions, talks and practical activities centred on cooking over fire. Visitors will also be able to take part in cornhole and pancake-flipping challenges, alongside a range of family entertainment.
More than 60 artisan stalls are expected to showcase food, drink, gifts and handcrafted products from independent businesses. Street food traders will serve dishes throughout the weekend, while Hogs Back Brewery will offer its beers alongside a selection of local drinks.
Pork and charcuterie producer Porky Whites is joining the event as a new partner in 2026. The Surrey-based producer will host the Porky Whites Stage, featuring demonstrations and talks from local makers and producers.
The event is being held in support of Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, which provides specialist care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families across Surrey.
It will also sponsor the Porky Whites Designer Hot Dog Competition, inviting young people aged 10 to 16 to create their own hot dog concept. Selected entrants will compete at the fair, with the winner receiving a Porky Whites hamper. Further entry information is due to be announced.
Saturday evening will include fire pits, marshmallow toasting, fire performances and live music as the event continues into the evening.
Maggie Howell, CEO of Surrey Hills Enterprises, said the fair would showcase local food and drink, producers and businesses while bringing people together outdoors.
