How’s your calendar looking in August? If you’re free any day from Friday 23 August to Monday 26 August (2024), why not check out Bolton’s award-winning Food and Drink Festival?

Last year, over half a million people visited the festival, which promises to be ‘bigger and better than ever’ this year. Expect:

  • a diverse blend of food, drink, and arts/crafts stalls,
  • celebrity chef demos from James Martin and Ainsley Harriott,
  • live music and exclusive comedy events,
  • free children’s activities,
  • and world-class street entertainment.

What we love about the festival (now in its 19th year) is that it showcases the town’s vibrancy and the skill of our local producers, growers, bakers, brewers, chefs, and home-kitchen cooks.
