Beanfeast

There aren’t many festivals that can claim to descend from former monarchs, but this one certainly can. That’s because 251 years ago, when King George III was visiting Woolwich, he declared an annual holiday of beans and bacon which we know as Beanfeast – and it’s back for 2024. Expect talks and live appearances from some well-known foodie faces such as Evening Standard and MasterChef critic Jimi Famurewa and chef and cookbook author Tim Anderson, free activities and interactive stalls, music from DJ PRNCSS and of course, plenty of beans (plus other food options, too).
