Obsession 2026

17 Nights – 20 Chefs and 26 Michelin Stars – it’s the fine dining festival which has become everyone’s obsession

The culinary world’s most anticipated festival is back. Northcote’s Obsession will return in January 2026 and promises an unmissable series of once-in-a-lifetime dining experiences, once again transforming the Ribble Valley into the epicentre of global gastronomy. From 23rd January to 8th February 2026, the iconic event will unite 20 world-class chefs holding a combined 26 Michelin stars for 17 unforgettable nights of culinary artistry.

At the heart of it all is Northcote, the luxury Lancashire hotel and Michelin-starred restaurant led by chef patron-director Lisa Goodwin-Allen. Obsession26’s line-up will bring together an extraordinary roster of chefs from across the globe – from Chicago and Dubai to Amsterdam, Dublin and London – each bringing their own signature style, creativity and identity to the Northcote kitchen.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Gastronomy Plus as our Headline Sponsor for Obsession26. This is their first year as Headline Sponsor and we value their support, it’s a genuinely exciting opportunity to showcase their exceptional portfolio of reputable brands—including Sous Vide Tools, Kitchen Knives, Bertha Charcoal Ovens, Kasai, Delivita, Cutler & Smyth, and Cinders—to our audience.

I’m personally looking forward to sharing these market-leading products with the Obsession chefs and, of course, with all our dedicated Obsession26 guests, who will have a fantastic chance to see some of these innovated brands of Gastronomy Plus.”
