Bringing together no fewer than 45 wing slingers from acclaimed restaurants and business across the country, London Wing Fest will showcase the best chicken wings in the UK, with a judging panel and the public vote having the final say in who's crowned the champion.

London Wing Fest 2024 will take place from Friday to Sunday at London Stadium in Stratford. Across the three days, an estimated 500,000 chicken wings will be prepared, served, and devoured, but that's not all that the festival offers. In addition to the competitions, where you'll be able to vote for your favourite chicken wing vendor, Wing Fest will feature live music of both the DJ and band variety, games and entertainment such as axe throwing, thrilling rides, and eating competitions.

If you're a fan of chicken wings and want to spend a day or two gorging yourself, head over here to book your ticket. Note that standard tickets include entry to the festival, all of the entertainment, and even a branded trucker hat, but no actual wings – you'll have to pay £1.50 a pop for those.
