Stourton Woods Food & Drink Fayre 2026 Visitor Guide
Local food, farming and woodland come together at Stourton Woods Food & Drink Fayre, which takes place on Sunday 13th September 2026, bringing local producers, rural businesses and visitors together in the Roundhouse and surrounding woodland. The event runs from 10am to 4pm and combines the pleasures of a food fair with the freedom of a countryside day out.
The setting makes this event distinctive. Rather than spending the whole visit inside a marquee, families can move between stalls, talks and demonstrations, then follow woodland trails or join activities that explain more about the wider estate and its farming landscape.
Meet local producers
The fayre offers a useful introduction to Lincolnshire’s food and drink scene. Independent producers can explain how their products are made, where ingredients come from and what makes their work different. For visitors, that direct conversation often turns a pleasant purchase into a stronger connection with the people behind it.
Food demonstrations and talks add practical interest, while the mix of stalls creates an easy opportunity to try something new. It is worth bringing a reusable bag and, if the organiser advises it, a cool bag for chilled products you may want to take home.
Farm safaris and woodland walks
Farm safaris reveal more of the working estate and the relationship between farming, woodland management and the local environment. Self-guided trails, ranging from short walks to routes of several kilometres, allow visitors to choose a pace that suits their group.
September is a particularly appealing time to explore the woods. The landscape is beginning to shift towards autumn, but the days can still be mild enough for a relaxed walk. Sensible outdoor footwear is recommended, especially after rain, and families should check the suitability of longer routes for pushchairs or limited mobility.
Planning your visit
The published admission is £5 per car, making the fayre an accessible option for a family or group travelling together. Check the official event listing before departure for final parking instructions, payment arrangements, accessibility details and any programme changes.
Allow enough time to do both sides of the event: browse the producers without rushing, then step into the woods. That combination of taste, conversation and countryside is what makes Stourton’s fayre more than a conventional food market.
