27th National BBQ Week

May 29th – June 4th 2023

 
 

One of the UK's Top 5 multi award-winning Awareness Weeks

So, what happened in last year’s 

26th National BBQ Week 2022

Following 2021’s Covid induced move to the first week in July, last year’s 26th National BBQ Week, ran over the same July period. The first RoadShow visit was to the Devon County Show, Exeter where there was torrential rain, however the next two RoadShows to Tatton Park, Cheshire and Winchester, were absolute scorchers, with temperatures in the upper 30’s.

All RoadShows were extremely busy with initial estimates putting attendees at over 125k, and we distributed tens of thousands of sponsor samples to incredibly happy festival goers and in fact overall we think its probably one of the best RoadShows we’ve ever run! The RoadShows were also supported by a very full PR, competition, social-media, and promotional activity. 

And here’s what some of our previous sponsors have said:
Birds Eye Green Cuisine – Tory, SBM “Super pleased with the results!” /
Budweiser – Amar, SBM – “Awesome results Cheers to a sizzling partnership!” /
Heinz-Bull’s Eye -Laura, SBM  “A great participation that worked really well!” /
Sainsbury’s/Cranswick -Mike, CM –  “Delighted with the campaign!”
 

Just 1 category remaining for 2023!
