Ilkley Food and Drink Festival will take place on 12th and 13th June 2027 at East Holmes Field beside the River Wharfe, marking the event's eighth annual celebration. Organisers are introducing refreshed entertainment line-ups, enhanced production and new family activities scattered throughout the festival grounds.

The event will showcase the region's independent scene, with more than 100 local businesses participating across cornerstone attractions including the Street Food Arena, Artisan Markets and Streets of Independent Bars. Four live stages will offer a diverse programme of performances, demonstrations and activities throughout the weekend, all included with festival admission.

Michael Johnston, Festival Director, said the event would not return 'year after year' without the community of festival-goers, traders, makers and performers. Assistant Festival Manager Izaak Shuttleworth said attendee feedback shapes the 2027 plans, with organisers excited to 'bring some fresh ideas to Ilkley next summer'.
