All Fired Up BBQ Festival 2025

Back and Hotter Than Ever – All Fired Up BBQ Festival Returns to Hertfordshire, Bigger and Bolder in 2025!

After a sizzling debut last year that drew food lovers from across the county, the All Fired Up BBQ Festival is back — and this year, it’s bigger, bolder, and bursting with even more fire-cooked flavour. As the only food festival in Hertfordshire dedicated entirely to cooking over flame, All Fired Up promises an unforgettable day of smoky indulgence, live music, and family fun on Sunday 10th August.

With a festival ground filled with dramatic pitmaster fire pits, slow-smoked meats, and the unmistakable smell of BBQ in the air, this is where Hertfordshire comes to turn up the heat. Whether you’re a grill-master or just hungry for a good time, there’s something here for everyone.

What’s New and Returning in 2025:

-  Expanded BBQ Demo Stage, now included with adult ticket price – Learn the secrets of the smoke from top chefs and pitmasters, as well as a butchery lesson.

-  More Family Fun – Bounce into action with giant inflatables (included in child ticket price) and kid-friendly activities (under 4's inflatables available for an extra charge).

-  Even More Live Music – Featuring chilled acoustic sets and a full country set from local favourites, Skelton Nashville Band.

-  Larger Food & Vendor Zone – More fire-grilled options, local food stalls, and unique flame-cooked fare.

-  BBQ Meets Brews – Wash down the smoke with craft beers, ciders, cocktails, and soft drinks from top local drink vendors.

“I was blown away by the response last year,” says Claire, founder of All Fired Up. “This year, we’re bringing more food, more fire, and more fun. It’s going to be an even bigger celebration of the BBQ culture we love.”
