Eat in the Park, a family-friendly music and food festival which made its first appearance in Chesterfield earlier this year is set to return next summer.

The event, which sees dozens of acts including popular tribute bands, along with up-and-coming talent, will be back with more music, fun and entertainment in Queens Park on August 10th-11th 2024.

Last year’s festival saw just over 3,000 people per day in attendance, with thousands more expected to visit Chesterfield for the 2024 event.

Next year’s bumper line-up has already been confirmed, with tributes to Elton John and Take That set to headline the main stage.

Attendees will also enjoy tributes to well-known artists, such as Adele, Blur, The Stone Roses, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, McBusted and Tina Turner.

Eat in the Park organisiers, Jake Burnham and George Darbyshire commented: “We were absolutely delighted to bring Eat In The Park to Chesterfield. We were blown away by the response and cannot wait for the event to grow within the two in 2024 and beyond.”

Speaking on the success of the 2023 event, the duo said: “The weather tried its best to dampen the mood but the amazing acts and entertainment won the battle over the weekend and it was absolutely brilliant to see the people of Chesterfield enjoying themselves.

“It is quite nervy coming into a new town with an event but we were delighted with the response. We have our identity and we have a sense of pride when we see people embracing it and enjoying Eat In The Park for what it is – a brilliant family event with incredible music, food & activities. Queens Park is the ideal venue for an event like ours. We cannot wait to return in 2024 .”

The event is launching a special Black Friday promotion for tickets this weekend, which will give fans access to the event at the cheapest available price for 72 hours starting on Friday, 24th November.

Tickets will be available on the festival’s website, and people can stay up to date with the festival on its Facebook and Instagram channels.
