The Kings Banquet

We are thrilled to announce the return of the Kings Banquet in 2026, following its successful launch in 2025. This free-entry, all-day Food & Drink festival will take place on Sunday 12th October, bringing together some of Gloucestershire’s finest independent food vendors and local drink producers for a vibrant community celebration.
A diverse line-up of live music from local performers will set the tone throughout the day, complemented by activities and entertainment for children and families. Carefully curated to offer something for everyone, the event welcomes casual foodies, loyal local supporters, and visitors discovering Dursley for the very first time.
Born from the growing success of Kingshill House’s weekly pop-up food nights and mid-week mini-market, the Kings Banquet represents a natural evolution of the community’s appetite for quality local food, drink, and connection. “We’ve seen such a positive response to our regular food nights and markets,” says Joe Dymond, General Manager at Kingshill House. “This is our way of bringing it all together for a truly special celebration that highlights the creativity, flavour, and talent in our region.”
