York Food and Drink Festival is unique because it is set in and around the City's many amazing historic venues.

  • The Festival's main focus is Yorkshire food and drink.
  • It is run by an independent 'not for profit' organisation.

There are two principle element to the event. Parliament Street (free entry) consists of the markets, demonstration area, beer tent and information point - we also enclose the city's fountain in Parliament Street with a marquee and make this an evening venue for events. Secondly there is both a day time and evening programme of events in York Guildhall, Mansion House and in venues across York.
