More info

The heart of the festival will see 'King Of The Grill', a huge two-day US style 'low and slow' BBQ competition with 24 teams battling it out over the smoky coals. This unique BBQ competition means visitors can interact with the teams, taste the food and experience their passion and enthusiasm for authentic barbecue. Master of ceremonies is celebrity US pit-master Dr BBQ (aka Ray Lampe) who will oversee the judging for the weekend.

Along with the meat, music and mayhem festival goers can wash the tasty BBQ down at one of the three bars, promising some of the best craft beers from around the UK, aptly named Brewstock.

Sister event

Grillstock also happens in Bristol earlier in the month.
