Wing Fest 2025 Took Off in Derby – CP Packaging Returned as Proud Lead Sponsor
WingFest 2025 launched in style with an epic weekend at Bustler Market in Derby from May 17th to 19th. The first stop on this year’s nationwide tour served up three unforgettable days of wings, live music, bourbon, beer, axe throwing, and all-around good vibes. As the returning lead sponsor, CP Packaging was proud to once again fuel the fun, flavour, and flair that make WingFest the UK’s ultimate chicken wing showdown.
Food traders from across the country brought their A-game, plating up thousands of wings in CP Packaging’s eye-catching, sustainable packaging. Traders took advantage of our exclusive WingFest-only discounts, helping them serve their creations in packaging that looked as good as the food tasted.
A Weekend of Winners and Wing Royalty
The excitement wasn’t just on the stage or in the air – it was on every plate. Both our expert judges and the wing-loving public voted across three flavour categories: Best Buffalo, Best Wild Wing, and Best BBQ. In true CP Packaging fashion, we didn’t let the winners walk away empty-handed – each first-place winner received a £250 voucher to use on branded food packaging by CP Packaging, helping them elevate their next event or service with professional, standout packaging.
