York Food Festival is a ten day event which celebrates local and regional food and drink. It is a not-for-profit organisation and any money generated from ticket sales goes back in to the festival to improve it year after year!

Our Aims
To promote local food producers, independent restaurants and retailers in York;

To provide educational and fun workshops and cookery demonstrations to encourage people to eat healthy, homemade and locally sourced food;

To recognise York as a culinary hotspot, beginning with York’s Chocolate Story, and to promote the wealth of flavours that can be found in Yorkshire;

To transform Parliament Street throughout the days and in the evenings during the festival with a wealth of activities for all ages to enjoy.
