Where to Find Us: The Oyster Buoys 2026 Public Tour Calendar

There is nothing quite like the theater of a live shucking station—the crunch of the ice, the flash of the knife, and that perfect, briny first sip of a freshly opened rock oyster.

While a huge part of our week is spent behind the gates of private weddings and corporate country estates, we love nothing more than hitting the open road to pitch up at the UK’s best food, wine, and countryside festivals. If you want to track us down, grab a half-shell, and talk all things coastal provenance, here is exactly where the Oyster Buoys mobile bars are heading for the rest of the 2026 season.

Oyster Buoys x Wine Garden of EnglandSaturday, June 6th, 2026

We are returning to The Castle Westenhanger in Hythe, Kent for our third year running. We’ll be shucking right alongside the absolute finest wine producers the Garden of England has to offer. If you love cold, crisp local whites paired with pristine local seafood, this is your haven.

Oyster Buoys x Urban Wine FestivalJune 6th – 7th, 2026

Double booking the weekend because we can’t stay still! Our second team is heading to Electric Daisy in Derby to bring our signature coastal theater to the Midlands for a massive weekend of premium independent wine pairings.

Cheltenham Food and Drink FestivalJune 19th – 21st, 2026

Catch us in the stunning Montpellier Gardens, Cheltenham. Three full days of incredible flavors, great music, and non-stop shucking.

Bolesworth International & Countryside ShowcaseJune 26th – July 5th, 2026

We are heading up to Cheshire! Find us pitching up at the breathtaking Bolesworth Castle Estate. Across this spectacular summer window, we’ll be serving fresh oysters alongside world-class equestrian sport, lifestyle shopping, and premium horsepower.

New Forest Food FestivalAugust 15th – 16th, 2026

We are packing up the van and moving down to the Hinton Admiral Events Field in Hampshire. Expect a stellar weekend celebrating artisanal British produce in the heart of the New Forest.

Canterbury’s Cooking Food FestivalSeptember 25th – 27th, 2026

Back on home turf in Kent! We’ll be setting up our hot and cold oyster stations in the historic Dane John Gardens for a massive three-day feast of food-focused family fun.

Every time you see the Oyster Buoys sign, you are getting the absolute best of British waters, shucked completely to order right in front of you.

We don’t just hand you a shell; we love to talk about the unique flavor profiles of the waters our oysters come from. On the counter this season, you can look forward to:

• The Classic Half-Shell: Raw, icy, and immaculate. Served naked or dressed with our sharp house-made mignonette.
• The Hot Counter: Our famous golden, crispy tempura oysters for those who want a rich, warm twist on a classic.
• Expert Pairings: We collaborate closely with the drink makers and wine producers at every estate and festival to ensure we can recommend the exact pour to cut through the briny richness of your plate.

Whether you’re a seasoned regular or trying your very first oyster, come say hello, grab a plate, and let us show you a shucking great time.

Keep an eye on our Instagram for live pitch locations and weekend updates as we travel. See you in the field!
