Saturday 18th July 2026
After Taste Finals
Beyond the Plate -
Celebration & Networking Event
Beyond the Plate is the public celebration following the After Taste Finals 2026.
Earlier in the day, three young finalists will take part in a private judging experience, showcasing their food, creativity and personal journey through a dining experience with a creative twist. The judging part of the day is by invitation only.
From 3:00pm, we will open the doors for Beyond the Plate, welcoming our wider community, partners, supporters, young people, families and networks to come together for an afternoon of food, performances, networking and celebration.
This is a chance to experience the heart of After Taste, celebrate the young people involved, meet the winner of the 2026 final, and hear more about what is coming up across Jigsaw-GC CIC, including After Taste, Legacy Youth Awards, Get Connected Agency and our wider work with young people, families and communities.
Expect good food, good energy, live performances, community connection and a celebration of what happens when young people are given the space to be creative, confident and seen.
