When music met glorious food...
Marlow: Big wheel and major fun at Pub in the Park
Big name musical acts and celebrity chefs descended on Marlow from Thursday to Sunday for ‘the ultimate food and music festival’.
Pub in the Park, hosted by Tom Kerridge, brought award-winning restaurants, banging live music, acclaimed chefs and unforgettable food.
Headlining the opening night on Thursday were the British girl band Sugababes performing their hits of the noughties. The evening also saw Jordan Lee, and Fleetwood Bac – the ‘first and best’ Mac tribute act – take to the main stage.
Pop group The Jacksons came to Marlow all the way from the USA to play on the Friday night.
Festival folks were also treated to Ministry of Sound Disco and Rick Parfitt Junior.
The weekend days saw full days of entertainment, with Sam Ryder, a Dick and Dom DJ set and Flawless hitting the stage during the day on Saturday.
Clean Bandit, Tinie Tempah and Chris Moyles’ 90s Hangover hit the stage for the evening show, with a return of Jordan Lee.
Sunday saw UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Bananarama and Jay Rayner Sextet during the afternoon.
Meanwhile on the Miele Chef Demo Stage, host Tom Kerridge appeared alongside special guests Ed Gamble and Nisha Katona on Thursday.
But it was Tom that ran the show from Friday through to Sunday, with appearances from Chris Bavin and Adam Purnell (aka Shropshire Lad).
Pop-up pubs aplenty graced the park party, including Kerridge's own The Hand and Flowers and The Crown Burchetts Green.
Also offering up sustenance for hardworking party people were The Star Inn, Ginger Wings, The
Oarsman, Hoppers, The Coach and The Hardwick to name a few.
Youngsters were well catered for with the Super Pirates offering storytelling theatre, inflatables, a ‘wacky Olympics’ with ‘extreme dodgeball’ and ‘family disco rave.’
New for this year, a helter skelter helped chute children into a world of fun. The big wheel offered an aerial view of the Pub in the Park as the weekend warmed up. W To see our whole gallery of photos, enter reference 135474 into www.baylismediaphotos.co.uk
