The North Leeds Food Festival 2026: The Ten Year Anniversary

The North Leeds Food Festival returns to Roundhay Park in 2026 for its tenth anniversary, making it one of the longest-running food festivals in the region. Spread across the open grounds of one of Europe's largest urban parks, the event brings together local producers, street food traders, chefs, and drink specialists for a weekend of eating, drinking, and celebrating good food.

You can expect a wide range of stalls covering everything from artisan bread and cheese to international street food and craft drinks, alongside live cooking demonstrations and entertainment. The anniversary edition is likely to be one of the biggest yet, with a decade's worth of community goodwill behind it.

Roundhay Park is well served by public transport from Leeds city centre, and the open parkland setting means there is plenty of space to spread out with children in tow. As an outdoor event, it is worth dressing for the weather and bringing a blanket if you plan to settle in for the afternoon.

It suits families who enjoy food and a relaxed outdoor atmosphere, as well as anyone who wants to support independent local producers. Keep an eye on the official event channels for the full lineup, ticket details, and timings as the date approaches.
