Our September program is under development

For 2025, we’re extending the program by  inviting community groups to run their own events. From stands and cooking demos (no professional chef needed!) to cultural showcases, everything is welcome. Third-party food events like foraging tours and community dinners can also be added to the program. We encourage short videos (1–3 minutes) for our big LED screens to promote activities.

Venues like St Crux Hall and the Museum Gardens marquee are available for community or charity nights. Local food producers can sell at our Yorkshire produce stand. Let’s celebrate York’s vibrant culinary culture together! More info: https://www.yorkfoodfestival.com/about-us/community/

Meanwhile we have left the Chocolate Festival details so you can see what you missed!!

Did you know that the York Food Festival is a not-for-profit organisation?
Any money generated (from trader fees to ticket sales) goes back into the festival to improve it year after year.
Please consider making a donation to support the festival and keep it running.
