Eat & Drink Festival Glasgow 2027 at the SEC

Eat & Drink Festival Glasgow is the flagship showcase of the UK's independent food and drink scene, held at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Center (SEC) on the banks of the Clyde. Across four days the halls fill with chef demonstrations, masterclasses, tasting sessions and pop-up bars dedicated to modern cuisine, mixology and craft spirits. The show floor brings together independent producers, street food traders, boutique distilleries, breweries and specialty coffee roasters, making it a key date for buyers, distributors and hospitality professionals as well as food-loving locals. Trade visitors use the show to scout new suppliers and trends; the general public comes for sampling, workshops and live cooking stages. Glasgow is a natural host: Scotland's largest city has a globally recognised food and drink culture and the SEC sits minutes from the city centre, with hotels, transport links and the Hydro arena next door. Attendees typically plan their trip around the SEC campus, making nearby accommodation essential during the festival weekend.
