The ever-popular Bakewell Food Festival which attracts thousands of visitors each year will once again be held around the streets of the beautiful and historic Peak District riverside market town.

Bakewell’s wealth of shops, pubs and cafes will be open as normal, and craft and gift fairs will be held in the Town Hall, Brigade Hall and Medway centre. 

Bakewell Food Festival features around 100 stalls, gazebos, and trailers ready to serve up tasty dishes, drinks, and a range of goodies to take home too.

There’ll be the chance to tuck into home-made cakes, artisan pizza, sizzling sausages, freshly tossed pancakes and more, all from an array of food-obsessed producers.

Artisan ales, gin and fizz will be served up for anyone who fancies kicking back and enjoying a tipple or two and there’ll be great selection of gifts and crafts for sale.

The festival is just the perfect excuse for visitors to explore the town, famed for its Bakewell Puddings, and to treat themselves or somebody else to delectable edibles and more!

Throughout the weekend there will also be a programme of fabulous entertainment including, children’s fair rides, music from a local DJ and a display of birds of prey by Harry Potter bird man James McKay.

The Bakewell Food Festival is simply a fantastic showcase for local businesses from in and around the gorgeous Peak District and offers warm welcome to visitors of all ages. 

Plus, best of all, it’s all for free!
