The North Leeds Food Festival is coming back for its eight year running at the iconic park, which has become a highlight on the Leeds food calendar since its Roundhay inception in 2016.

The event, which according to organisers has grown "significantly" in recent years, is expected to attract its largest audience yet as attendees can look forward to a diverse range of attractions, such as live chef demos hosted by Yorkshire Food Guide.
