The Harrogate Food and Drink Festival: A Feast on The Stray - The Stray

Bonjour, Harrogate!

Are you ready for The Stray to come alive again?

Picture this: You're tucking into something delicious, sipping on your favourite tipple as sizzling street food fills the air... and then a French chef rides by 10 feet in the air on a custom giant bike.

No, we're not kidding.

As many of you will know, we like to do things a little differently at Harrogate Food and Drink Festival. You can expect the staples; delicious food, incredible food producers, chefs and an array of entertainment to enjoy with your loved ones.

But you can always expect something wacky coming just around the corner.

Join us on The Stray as we celebrate our 6th year in this beautiful tree-lined setting we call our home.

...Early bird tickets flew out last year. Grab yours today!
