Food festival back for 10th year with return to its roots

Perthshire's favourite food and drink festival, Perthshire On A Plate (POAP), is gearing up for a very special edition in 2025 - celebrating its 10th year at the Perth Show with a packed programme of producers, popups, and a much-anticipated return from its very first celebrity chef, Rosemary Shrager.

Taking place on Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd August 2025 on the South Inch, and run by Perthshire Chamber of Commerce, POAP will once again showcase the very best of local food and drink alongside the region's much-loved agricultural show. Sponsored by Binn Group, the event has become a staple of the summer calendar - and 2025 promises to be the biggest and most celebratory yet. Rosemary Shrager Returns to Headline POAP's 10th Anniversary.

In a fitting tribute to the festival's journey, POAP is thrilled to announce the return of celebrity chef Rosemary Shrager - who headlined the very first Perthshire On A Plate in 2016 and will now return to mark its tenth year.

A household name, author and beloved TV personality, Rosemary brings her signature warmth, wit, and passion for local produce to the POAP Cookery Theatre, where she will join a stellar lineup for two days of cooking demonstrations, foodie tips and culinary storytelling.

Since 2016, POAP has championed the local food and drink sector, giving a platform to Perthshire's talented chefs, makers and growers.

What began as a bold new addition to the Perth Show has grown into a bustling, must-attend event that draws thousands of visitors from across Scotland and beyond.
