UK JERK FEST 2026

We’re bringing the heat to East London, set to be London’s biggest jerk festival. 

Expect a full day of fire and flavour as the UK’s leading jerk vendors take over Hackney Wick, showcasing their signature marinades, slow-cooked meats, and smoky mastery. From bold spices to live vibes, this is more than a food festival; it’s a celebration of Jamaican culture and craft.

Each day is split into two sessions:

12–4 (Day Session): A more relaxed daytime experience, suitable for all ages.

5–9 (Evening Session): A higher-energy setting with DJs and a livelier crowd (18+ only).

Both sessions offer the same full lineup of food, drinks, traders and entertainment, so you won’t miss out whichever you choose.

Please note:

The venue is cleared between sessions. Staying across both is not permitted.

Tickets are required for entry to each individual session.

Capacity is limited — early booking is recommended.

Tickets are non-refundable & cannot be exchanged. For full details on entry, age restrictions, accessibility, and more, please visit our FAQs.
