Houghton Feast 2019: Price of rides and food at the event

At 7pm on Friday, October 4, hundreds flocked to Houghton’s The Broadway and Rectory Park as Houghton Feast 2019 began.

As always, entry to the event between Friday, October 4, and Sunday, October 13, is free.

Pipes and drums, classic cars, musical bands, a clown, dancers, vintage steam vehicles and a highly anticipated firework display is just some of the entertainment on offer.

In Rectory Park, plenty of rides and food stalls have been set up and we headed down to check out the prices.

Snacks

There are hot dogs for £2 or £2.50 for a ‘giant’ version.

Chips start from £2 on a range of stalls.

There are a variety of sweet stalls with prices starting from £1 for a bag of mixed sweets. For £2, you can get cotton candy, popcorn or marshmallows.

Food

For those with more of an appetite, burgers range from £2.50 to £3.50.

Curry, sweet and sour or BBQ chicken with rice or chips will cost you £4 and so will hot roast pork or beef.

Drinks

Fizzy drinks cost around £1.50 and hot drinks (which may be needed if you head to the event after dark!) start from £1.50.

Rides and toys

Most rides cost £2.50 per go but you’ll have to ask at the individual stalls for the price of the games.

You can get your hands on a range of flashing toys for £4 each.
