Local food producers, farmers, restaurateurs and chefs take part in the annual Leeds food festival.

Managed in partnership with Marketing Leeds, Leeds City Council and the Yorkshire Post/Yorkshire Evening Post, the Yorkshire Food and Drink Show is the centrepiece of the innovative festival, and attracted 38,000 visitors in 2011. A theatre kitchen with cookery demonstrations and chef cook-offs will take centre stage at the show. 

Alongside the hundreds of stalls at the show, the festival also brings together a jam packed calendar of events in major venues across the city. In 2011, the Victoria Quarter hosted its own food festival with demonstrations from outlets including Anthony’s patisserie, Opposite Café and Bagel Nash whilst The Light hosted cocktail making masterclasses and pizza making workshops. Leeds Kirkgate markets also hosted a farmer’s and crafts markets as well as offering special lunchtime treats.
