Meat Up Festival 2026

This year marked an exciting milestone as Millington Hall Farm proudly supported the inaugural Meat Up Festival, held at Ashley Hall Showground in Cheshire. Bringing together 6,500 visitors for a weekend celebrating live-fire cooking, British farming, butchery, music and incredible food, the festival perfectly reflected everything we stand for.

As a working farm just minutes from the festival site, supporting Meat Up was a natural fit. It gave us the opportunity to champion British farming, showcase the people behind great food, and connect with a community that shares our passion for quality produce and outdoor cooking.

Throughout the weekend, visitors could relax at the Millington Hall Farm Tipi, meet the team, and discover more about the experiences we’re creating here at the farm. 

Many of the talented chefs, pitmasters and butchers demonstrating at Meat Up will be joining us throughout the year for immersive experiences and masterclasses at Millington Hall Farm, giving visitors the chance to build on what they saw at the festival and develop their own live-fire cooking skills.

We’d like to thank everyone who visited us over the weekend and helped make the very first Meat Up Festival such a fantastic success. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Millington Hall Farm soon for more unforgettable food, fire and farming experiences!
