London are you ready!? The world's biggest chicken wing show-down returns for 2025, The Year of The Chicken Wing! We will once again provide London with the answer to that burning question - who really does the best wings?  On the 25th, 26th and 27th of July at London Stadium, in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, competitors from across the UK will work their culinary magic in a bid to be crowned the King or Queen of the Wing. Wing Fest will see 45 contestants, and 90 types of wings, battle it out in three fiercely contested categories: Best Buffalo Wing Described in the North American dictionary, from where this mighty morsel hales, as "Deep-fried wings coated in a spicy sauce." Of course to those in the know, this description simply doesn’t do this wonderful creation justice and the search for the best out there is fiercely contested across the world. Best Wild Wing This category is looking to explore and demonstrate the many exciting ways a chicken wing can be prepared and served in the broadest sense possible. In this category anything goes. Any flavour, any technique, any taste. Basically the rule is, there are no rules. Best BBQ Wing This all time classic flavour deserves its own category, which we introduced in 2023. Experts in this distinguished field use everything from fire, smoke, fry and bake, not to mention incredible sauce recipes that are often handed down from generation to generation. This is a big category and very popular. The culinary warriors battling it out in 2025 are a mixture of street food vendors, pop up legends, BBQ teams and restaurants from all over the UK. All wings will be sold in individual joints drums or flats at £1.50 each to allow voters to try as many wings as possible from each of the contestants. For the greediest of wing eaters among you, the incredibly popular Wing Eating Competition will again be taking place on all 3 event days.  The deadly Clifton Chilli Club Lava Wing Challenge which is the hottest in the world is guaranteed to cause carnage is also taking place on all 3 days. Sign up for both competitions will be on the day at the main stage. Keep an ear out for the announcements. We'll have charismatic BBQ chefs ruling the roost on the Chicken Shed stage. Here you can expect tantalising cooking demonstrations, BBQ tips, fun shows and DJs later in the day! New for 2025 is the Splash Zone. Wings, water, fun and games! What could go wrong. The Side Show stage is back along with amusement attractions, roaming musicians, beer puppeteer and free axe throwing! There will be live music, street buskers, bourbon master classes, bbq demonstrations and street entertainment through out festival on all days, as well as DJs playing summer party vibe tunes into the night.
