The Game Fair has today announced that the godfather of modern cooking, Marco Pierre White, will be the official VIP host for the 2026 event at Ragley Hall (24-26 July). The culinary icon will be in residence on Friday and Saturday of the event, bringing his gastronomic excellence to the heart of the British countryside.
Marco will be hosting the ‘Marco Breakfast’ within the VIP Enclosure. Known for his passion for wild game and seasonal British produce, the youngest-ever chef to achieve three Michelin stars has designed a morning menu that promises to elevate the traditional ‘full English’ into a fine dining experience.
But the day doesn’t end with breakfast. Marco will remain a focal point for the VIP Enclosure as he hosts throughout the day. Far from a fleeting appearance, the chef will be in permanent residence within the VIP area, mingling with guests, sharing his field-to-fork philosophy, and ensuring an atmosphere of relaxed, world-class hospitality. Whether over mid-morning coffee or afternoon drinks, visitors will have the unique opportunity to engage with Marco in an intimate setting long after the breakfast plates have been cleared.
Beyond the plate, VIP packages provide the most luxurious way to enjoy the event. Visitors can also relax in the exclusive VIP Garden with the best seats in the house for the Main Arena displays.
Marco Pierre White said: “In season there is nothing better than game and I am very much looking forward being part of The Game Fair this year.”
“The Game Fair is a celebration of the Great British countryside, and there is no better way to start the day than with a proper breakfast and great company,” says James Gower, Managing Director at The Game Fair. “By hosting our VIP guests, Marco offers an opportunity to sit down with a legend in the industry, as well as enjoy his superb, curated menu. It’s this level of access that makes our VIP experience the ultimate way to enjoy the weekend.”
While the VIP Enclosure offers the most intimate access, all Game Fair visitors will have the chance to learn from the legend himself. On Friday afternoon, Marco will take the stage at the Carter Jones Game Fair Theatre for a discussion on his influence on modern British cooking and his passion for wild food. Fans can also witness his cooking techniques first hand at the BASC Wild Food Kitchen Theatre, Sponsored by Global Knives, where he will give a live cooking demonstration using simple British ingredients on Saturday afternoon.
