About the event

Entry
Get ready for a fiery weekend of flavour, rhythm, and celebration at Embers Fire Festival, taking place across Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May 2026 in the stunning surroundings of Dale End Park, Ironbridge, Shropshire. The Reggulites take the stage on Saturday 2nd May, bringing their signature reggae energy to a festival already bursting with heat, music, and good vibes. Tickets are available through the festival website, with options for single‑day or full‑weekend entry.
The Hosts
Embers Fire Festival is the creation of Adam Purnell (Shropshire Lad) and the team at Embers Café, who are celebrating their third year of trading by throwing a two‑day party dedicated to everything they love: fire cooking, great music, and community spirit. Set in the heart of Ironbridge, the festival brings together world‑class pitmasters, passionate food lovers, and local music fans for a weekend that feels both intimate and spectacular.
The Event
Across the weekend, Embers Fire Festival blends live fire cooking demos, top‑quality pitmasters, family entertainment, and a huge lineup of local bands and artists. Expect theatre, smoke, flavour, and a whole lot of atmosphere as chefs from across the UK showcase their fire‑food skills.
On Saturday, the heat rises even higher with a full reggae set from The Reggulites, adding sunshine‑soaked grooves to the festival’s already electric energy. Whether you’re there for the food, the music, or the family‑friendly fun, the Embers Fire Festival promises an unforgettable experience where fire, food, and music collide.
