Harrogate Food and Drink Festival returns to Ripley Castle this summer

The festival will feature freshly made international cuisine, independent bars and breweries, an expansive artisan market featuring local produce, craft and wellbeing businesses, a main stage with live music, entertainers and performers, an extensive children’s activities programme and fairground rides.

The event, on August 28-30, will also play host to a Cookery Theatre, sponsored and hosted by Yorkshire Food Guide, where internationally renowned chefs will create their favourite dishes.

Hannah Dewhirst, festival coordinator, added: "2020 was such a difficult year for ourselves and our traders, and we knew it was so important to come back to Ripley Castle in 2021 bigger than before, and really celebrate what the local businesses have to offer. We’re really looking forward to being back on the field in the sunshine, and we hope everyone will join us for what’s shaping up to be a jam-packed weekend.”

The festival will again be supporting MIND charity in Harrogate, which helps those suffering with mental health difficulties.
