Pizza lovers in Richmond are in for a treat this summer as Slice-O-Mania, billed as the UK's 'biggest' pizza festival, returns to Richmond Athletic Ground.

The popular festival will take over the Richmond venue across three days from 24 to 26 July, with organisers promising a larger line-up, more food traders and brand-new attractions following a record-breaking event in 2025.

More than 20 pizza traders from across the country will descend on Richmond, each serving slices priced at £3, while competing head-to-head in the UK Pizza Championships.

Visitors can also expect cocktail bars serving signature drinks capped at £10, with bartenders competing for the title of UK Cocktail Champion as part of a new expanded drinks offering.

Attendees will also get the chance to cast their own votes for categories including Best Signature Cocktail, Best Italian or Pizza-Themed Cocktail, Best Cocktail Bar and a range of pizza awards including Best Margherita.

Following the success of last year's event, organisers say Slice-O-Mania 2026 will feature a packed entertainment programme running across the weekend.

A main stage will host live DJs, games, competitions and interactive entertainment as well as the return of the UK Pizza Eating Championships.

For the first time, organisers are also introducing a spirit and cocktail tasting area, where visitors will be able to sample drinks from up to 20 different brands free of charge.
