The Cheshire & North Wales Food & Drink Festival and Deva Fest. The dual mandate will place Magnify at the heart of the region’s events calendar and its hospitality‑driven visitor economy.
Two of Cheshire’s flagship events in one year
The Cheshire & North Wales Food & Drink Festival returns over the Easter weekend, running from Friday 3 April to Sunday 5 April 2026 at Chester Racecourse. The rebranded event brings together local and regional food and drink producers, street‑food traders and live entertainment, with a renewed focus on community, independent business and a strong visitor experience.
Deva Fest takes place from Thursday 6 August to Sunday 9 August 2026 at Cholmondeley Castle Gardens. The four‑day, family‑friendly festival combines live music, comedy and themed activities with a broad food and drink offering, positioning itself as one of the North West’s major summer events.
“A milestone for Magnify”
Nick Owens, founder of Magnify PR, said, “Being asked to lead PR for both the Cheshire & North Wales Food & Drink Festival and Deva Fest is another key milestone for Magnify PR. It signals that we’re now working at the heart of Cheshire’s events calendar, telling the stories of some of its most visible and impactful experiences to regional and national media.”
A growing footprint in Chester and Cheshire
Magnify’s work in recent years includes supporting high‑profile, community‑focused initiatives across Chester and Cheshire, including partnerships with Chester Business Club and Chester Racecourse on campaigns such as the annual charity walk and the Young Business Person Awards. In these projects, the agency has helped translate club or venue‑level activity into regional coverage and stakeholder engagement, reinforcing its role as a strategic communications partner for organisations that matter to the city.
What comes next
Campaigns for the Cheshire & North Wales Food & Drink Festival and Deva Fest will be rolled out in the coming weeks across regional and national trade titles, with a strong emphasis on hospitality, tourism and events‑industry coverage.
