The new experience from the creators of the Pub in the Park Festival tour will arrive in the grounds of Knebworth House over the weekend of Friday, September 11 to Sunday, September 13.

Designed for these unusual times, visitors can enjoy amazing food, a great line-up of live music and all from the safety of their own private enclosure in the Hertfordshire park.

Award-winning, Michelin-starred chefs Tom Kerridge, Atul Kochhar and Paul Ainsworth have created some seriously mouth-watering menus for ticket holders to enjoy.

You can choose from plates including Tom’s chipotle BBQ glazed brisket, Atul’s lamb biriyani, and Paul’s sticky Cornish fudge cake.

Fear not veggies and vegans, Atul has also created a bespoke menu just for the gourmet garden party experience.

To accompany the delicious food, the Knebworth weekend’s live music headliners include Kaiser Chiefs, Rick Astley and Basement Jaxx with a DJ set.

Many ticket holders from this year’s postponed St Albans Pub in the Park extravaganza, which was due to be held at Verulamium Park on the same dates in September, have swapped to the Knebworth event.

Each session provides three hours of feelgood live music and wicked DJ sets.

Kaiser Chiefs and Soul II Soul will be appearing Saturday afternoon and evening on September 12.

The Sunday afternoon session will feature Scouting for Girls, Toploader and Craig Charles.

Organisers of the three-day feast have now confirmed the tasty food being served up by celebrity chef Tom Kerridge and his top foodie friends Atul Kochhar and Paul Ainsworth.

They will be providing Michelin quality dishes in a comfortable and socially distanced format for revellers.

Pub in the Park’s drive in Garden Party invites guests to simply park up, pop out and party with a car full of friends and family, while enjoying lush food and top music in their very own socially distanced garden.

The food offering consists of a £30 exclusively designed three-course chef’s special menu from each chef, and an extra treat too.

Each private garden has been designed for up to 10 people to kick back, relax and enjoy the festival vibes safely whilst enjoying the food from Kerridge, Kochhar and Ainsworth.

Food can be pre-ordered ahead of the event and it will be delivered directly to you on the day.
