Chapel Allerton Market: Popular Leeds market to host new food festival this Easter with dozens of stalls
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The first Chapel Allerton Food Festival will take place on Saturday March 30, with dozens of stalls set to pop up on Stainbeck Corner.
It’s from the team behind the monthly Chapel Allerton Market, which has been a huge success since its launch in May last year. Demand for the market is so high that its founder, local barber Ryan Edwards, decided to set up an extra food market - which he hopes to run four times a year.

Hide AdRyan said: “The Christmas markets went really well, and even the monthly market is getting busier and busier - we’ve actually run out of space and we’ve got 93 people on the waiting list.


“I think it’s down to the demographic around here; people love markets and they love supporting independents.
“We’ve got a lot of food businesses on the waiting list, so we’ve decided to put on four food festivals a year where people can come and try lots of different things.”
