The ultimate chicken wing extravaganza is coming to Sheffield for its 10th edition in a three-day wing-eating showdown. Hosted by street food hotspot Peddler Market, Wing Fest will showcase the best chicken wings from the UK’s top vendors, alongside live music and many wing-themed activities.
As well as being a celebration of one of the nation’s favourite foods, Wing Fest’s jam-packed entertainment schedule includes axe throwing, eating challenges and an array of live bands and DJs. Over 100,000 wings will be served across the weekend alongside a host of drinks, with Wing Fest’s signature trucker hats also on offer.
Richard Thacker, founder of Wing Fest, explained: “The wing-slinging line up is comprised of local and national superstars, and a myriad of flavours and cooking techniques. Visitors will experience how the humble chicken wing has been taken to new heights of deliciousness and culinary wonder.”
The festival will also host wing competitions, offering ticket holders the chance to vote for their favourite bites alongside a panel of judges. Vendors will compete for multiple titles, showcasing their best wing-making talents in the ultimate chicken wing battle.
“Keep an eye out for the deadly Lava Wing Challenge, which is the hottest wing challenge in the world and causes carnage everywhere it goes,” Richard added.
“We’re coming to Sheffield for the first time, and we’re looking forward to finding out who really does the best wings!”
Sheffield Wing Fest takes place between 18th-20th October, with tickets available via the Wing Fest website.
