Win weekend tickets to Big Grill 2024 for you and three friends.

Europe’s biggest BBQ and food festival, Big Grill returns in 2024 and is giving one lucky Irish Times subscriber the chance to win four weekend tickets.

Celebrating its 10th year on the festival circuit next summer, Big Grill BBQ and Food Festival will return to the lush green surroundings of Dublin’s Herbert Park from Thursday 22nd August to Sunday 25th August 2024. Showcasing the very best Irish and international chefs, restaurants, pitmasters and barbecue experts across one action-packed weekend in the capital, Big Grill has become legendary for shining a spotlight on the skillful techniques, incredible versatility and pure magic that comes with cooking over live fire.

Early bird tickets went on sale last week and to mark the occasion we have four Whole Hog tickets to give away this week to one lucky Irish Times reader. Perfect for those who want total flexibility to access all sessions, across all four days of the festival, Big Grill’s Whole Hog tickets are always the first to sell out every year, so if you aren’t this week’s winner we recommend you move quickly to secure yours.

Promising to go bigger and better than ever before, next summer’s Big Grill BBQ and Food Festival will see even more talented chefs and pitmasters traveling to Dublin from around the country, and from around the world, bringing best in class BBQ dishes on a scale you won’t experience anywhere else. There’s live music too, DJs and entertainment, eating competitions, a host of bars and Irish craft breweries and plenty of inspiring vendors offering everything from rubs to sauces, corn dogs to ice creams and all manner of delights in between. Plans are also in place to make Big Grill 2024 even more family friendly with a substantially larger Little Grillers section offering more interactive activities, cooking demos and live entertainment.

The ideal Christmas present for the food lovers, festival fans, fire fiends and hot sauce queens in your life, Big Grill early bird tickets are now on sale with general admission tickets priced at a special €22 each for the remainder of 2023 - this festive offer will end on January 1st 2024.
