The North Leeds Food Festival 2026: The Ten Year Anniversary
Something is COOKING…
It has been 10 YEARS since our humble beginnings, where hay bales lined the festival grounds and the smell of sizzling food filled the air.
Since then, we’ve seen three Prime Ministers, a pandemic, a Leeds United Rollercoaster, a coronation and a full TikTok takeover. From air fryers to oat milk lattes… we’ve seen it all.
On May 9th-10th, we’ll be celebrating our 10th ANNIVERSARY at our home in Roundhay Park.
We have big (& very random) plans in the works. Full details to follow.
Grab your early release tickets while they last.

• Yorkshire’s Leading Chefs in the Cookery Theatre
• Brand-New Attractions & Family Activities
