In 2019, the line up included chefs from The Foundry, Harewood Food & Drink Project, Rudding Park, Theravadu, Vice & Virtue, and many more - and a similar high standard is expected in 2021.

As well as eating food, you can also buy some at the artisan market where you can purchase foods from local producers.

Music and entertainment will also be provided, with jazz and soul artist Malaika performing live.
