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 principal elements to the event. Firstly Parliament Street (free entry) consists of the markets, demonstration area, Yorkshire Bar and information point - a marquee will enclose the city's fountain in Parliament Street and make this an evening venue for events. Secondly there is both a day time and evening programme of events in York Guildhall, The Mansion House and in venues across York.

Visitors will find York is an excellent touring base for gastronomic tours of the region. Gourmet Yorkshire.
