UK street food specialists Digbeth Dining Club have announced the 25-date Summer Tour ‘26 taking in 24 locations across the English Midlands.

The annual casual dining phenomenon will launch to fans with an 11-strong trader line-up, DJs, and craft beer, fizz and cocktail bars at top national visitor attraction Black Country Living Museum on Friday 24 April.

The DDC-curated and organised touring event will call at regional landmarks, including Attingham Park, Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens, Highbury Hall, and Warwick Castle, between late April and mid-September.

The Summer Tour ‘26 pairs award-winning food event offer with notable heritage sites such as the Grade II listed Tudor farmhouse Blakesley Hall in Birmingham.

This year’s programme will feature the return of popular street food traders including Amore, Buddha Belly, Disco Fries, Fat Snags, Flying Cows, Patty Freaks, Urban Cheesecake, and West Midlands Jerk Centre.

New DDC roster additions Smokey Joe’s and Absolute Melt will also join the rotating line-up of businesses serving up culinary creations on selected tour dates.

Continuing its commitment to nuturing new talent through the live Street Food Incubator Pilot, funded by Mayor of West Midlands Richard Parker, the DDC Summer Tour ‘26 will also showcase Steakbites, Hottodoggu and The Streatery at multiple locations.

DDC will return to the impressive surroundings of Birmingham’s Highbury Hall for a Spring Bank Holiday event delivered in partnership with neighbouring grassroots music venue Hare & Hounds, on Sunday 24 May 2026.

The Summer Tour ‘26 follows the successful launch of Dockworks Waterfront, the latest permanent venue from DDC, in Brierley Hill, Dudley.

The venue opened in late February 2026 and managed alongside sister food and culture spot Herbert’s Yard in Longbridge, Birmingham, has welcomed thousands of food and drink fans in the weeks since opening.

Digbeth Dining Club is also an organising partner of leading standup comedy weekend event Comedy at the Castle, taking place at Warwick Castle (22-24 May), Lancaster Castle (19-21 June) and Powderham Castle, Exeter (17-19 July).

All dates for the DDC Summer Tour ‘26 are listed on the official DDC website here.
