Taste of Corsham, the town’s celebration of local food and drink producers, is back for 2026.

On Saturday 16 May, from 11am-4pm, you will find a fantastic array of stalls on the historic High Street and in the grounds of Digital Mansion Corsham.

Expect a fun, foodie day out for all the family, with stalls selling amazing produce. There’s everything from paella to pastries and honey to hog roasts. Plus, Corsham’s town centre food and drink retailers, pubs, cafes and restaurants will be open for an even wider choice of fabulous food to tempt you.

There’ll be plenty of live entertainment, with Corsham Windband playing from 2.30-4pm by Grounded, and a fantastic lineup of local musicians performing on the Taste stage at Digital Mansion:

 

A man with shoulder length brown hair, wearing a denim jacket and shirt, is playing a guitar on a stage. He is lit by coloured stage lights in the background.

Jonny Wharton, 12.30-1.15pm

Jonny Falls Over is a Bristol-based artist and theatre composer who blurs the lines between acoustic storytelling, textured electronica, and alternative rock. Solo releases include Moments, Rest, and Is It Taking Shape? Jonny will be performing stripped back covers from a diverse range of musical genres, eras and styles, meaning there’ll be something for everyone.

 

A man and a woman sit on a bench, the woman is sitting along the bench leaning against the man. She is holding a guitar, and a guitar case is underneath the bench.

Fly Yeti Fly, 1.30-2.15pm

With their own unique flavour of delicate-but-distinctive folk, Fly Yeti Fly are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Blending sensitive vocal harmonies with intricate guitar arrangements, mandolin and harmonica, and with a warmth of spirit that radiates from the stage, the Wiltshire-based duo weave songs and stories about connection, community and the seasons.

 

Three bearded men lean against a bar.

Iröntrain, 2.30-3.15pm

Iröntrain are a Corsham-based 3-piece specialising in stripped-back acoustic arrangements that span decades and genres. From Dolly Parton to Nirvana, Johnny Cash to The Killers, and The Beatles to The Weeknd, they bring raw energy and close harmonies to everything they touch.

Alongside their eclectic covers, the band showcase a growing catalogue of dark, story-driven originals that draw from Americana and folk traditions—think eerie backroads, whiskey-soaked warnings, and tales you won’t shake off easily.

Over the past year, Iröntrain have played Party in the City, Wolf Wine (Bath), The Victoria Inn (Bath), The Queens Head (Box), Kettlesmiths, Middlewick House Open Gardens, and The Three Brewers (Corsham), building a reputation for intimate, high-energy performances that keep audiences hooked from first note to last.
