Spread the news! A festival focusing entirely on Christmas sandwiches is coming to London in November 2024.
Across three days, Londoners can tuck into festive takes on the humble sarnie, whipped up by 20 top chefs. Expect to see (and taste) plenty of turkey, stuffing and cranberry, but also more unusual twists on Christmas sandwiches.
Smoked meat experts Ruben’s Reubens, ciabatta makers The Black Pig, woodfire chefs Rogue Sarnies, stacked sarnie creators Untitled Sandwich Shop, and pizza restaurant Dough Hands are among the vendors taking part. Got a sweet tooth? East London-based Lil Wong Bakes are serving up desserts, while Happy Endings keep the theme going with their ice cream sandwiches.
Taking place at a Copeland Park in Peckham, the event also includes festive music and sing-alongs, aided no doubt by the copious amounts of mulled wine available. Children are welcome at the afternoon sessions. It's a ticketed event, and your admission gets your three tokens to spend on sandwiches of your choice. Needless to say, your go-to supermarket festive sandwich will never hit quite the same spot again.
Sarnie Party: Christmas Special takes place at Copeland Park in Peckham, 15-17 November 2024. Tickets are £30 adult/£7.50 child, available now.
