About
Seaham Food Festival will return for 2025, on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 August.
The festival welcomes thousands of visitors each year for two days of sun, sea, family fun and, of course, food. It features more than 120 traders selling everything from street food to local beverages.
Another highlight of Seaham Food Festival is its cookery theatre, where it hosts a series of cookery demonstrations from a star-studded line up of celebrity chefs.
TV presenter, chef and culinary author John Torode MBE will be taking to the stage on Sunday (3 August), to prepare delicious dishes for visitors from the festival’s cookery theatre.
As well as being known for co-hosting and judging BBC One’s MasterChef and Celebrity MasterChef, John is also a regular guest chef on ITV’s This Morning, where he appears both in the studio and out and about on location with Torode on the Road.
John also co-hosts alongside his wife, Lisa Faulkner, on ITV’s hugely popular John & Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen, with John and Lisa’s Instagram cooks also being some of the most watched cookery segments on social media.
After more than 40 years in the food industry and nearly three decades on TV, John was awarded an MBE in 2022 for outstanding services to food, broadcasting and charity.
