We’re on! Our Main Festival will be running from 17th to 26th September 2021.

We encourage applications from stand-holders and from Junior chefs for the Junior Chef of the Year Competition 2021.

We will be running a full festival with demonstrations, hands-on cookery, a Real Ale and a York Gin bar, events, trails, stands and all the things you’re used to seeing!

Highlights of the events calendar include the “Gin & Rum Festival” on Saturday 18th in York Minster featuring over 60 top-class gins and rums to try, “What a Difference a Year Makes” wine tasting with Melton’s at Walmgate Ale House on Sunday 19th and Yottam Ottolenghi at York Theatre Royal on Tuesday 21st.

There are demonstrations from 2020 Masterchef finalist Jono Hawthorne, Great British Menu’s Steph Moon and York’s own Neil Bentinck from Skosh.

We will be publishing the full programme and list of traders in the beginning of September.
