Back for another year, the Chinese Food Festival returns in full force to Potters Field Park for it’s annual celebration of culinary excellence. It’s important to turn up hungry, however, because there will be over 30 street food stalls, as well the Shanghai supper club serving up favourite dishes from across China. As well eating the food, you can learn how to cook it, as there will be several cooking demonstrations taking place across weekend. Cooks will include the Dumpling sisters and a hot-pot workshop, taking place in the Chef’s Theatre.

Once you are full, there are a lot of ways to work off all of that tasty food. There will be traditional fan dancing, a night market, DJ’s, parties and dancing into the night. Also available this year is the Chinese food card, a contactless payment method can be topped up, as and when you need it. It will also allow you to receive discounts at participating restaurants across London. All you have to do it top it up on the website and go!
