Line up for Northcote’s Obsession ‘27 revealed - world class chefs with 19 Michelin Stars coming to Lancashire
The event runs from January 22 to February 7, 2027.
The Ribble Valley’s premier food festival is coming back for it’s 27th year - bringing world class chefs to Lancashire.
Since 2001, Obsession has brought some of the world’s greatest chefs to the Ribble Valley for an extraordinary annual celebration of food, wine and hospitality.
Held over 17 consecutive nights in January and February at Northcote, Langho’s Michelin-starred restaurant, the event will see leading chefs from across the UK and around the world take over the Northcote kitchen for one night only. Each creates a unique menu celebrating their individual style, heritage and culinary identity.
Curated by Chef Patron-Director Lisa Goodwin-Allen, Obsession has grown from its beginnings in 2001 into one of the most anticipated events in the British food calendar.
Taking place between January 22 and February 7, 2027, talent coming to the Ribble Valley this time will be from London, Amsterdam, Athens, Porto, Oslo, Belgium and Ireland, alongside some exceptional names closer to home.
And it all begins with Lisa Goodwin-Allen, who will once again open the festival, as well as taking part in a Grand Finale with James Martin and Galton Blackiston.
