About

Nottingham Food Festival
Saturday 11 & Sunday 12 July 2026
Victoria Embankment

Brand-new for 2026 is the Nottingham Food Festival at Victoria Embankment.

Stamp the dates in, invite your favourite people, and join us for a weekend of strolling, sampling, and kicking back beside the River Trent. We're bringing together an eclectic mix of global flavours, international performances, local treasures, and a healthy dash of the weird and wonderful. We don't want to spoil too much, but you can always rely on something unexpected to pop around the corner...

Here's what's in store:

  • Live music all weekend, from soloists and bands to carefully chosen tribute acts
  • Live cookery theatre, where the region's leading chefs share crash courses in mastering your favourite dishes
  • Street food arena, serving an eclectic mix of global cuisines from top street food vendors
  • Artisan markets, where you'll find melt-in-the-mouth cheeses, homemade crafts, luxury chocolates, vibrant artwork... the list goes on
  • Family entertainment, such as top-rated magicians, roaming comedy, circus workshops, stilt walkers and more
  • Free activities, challenges and competitions - Unique experiences tailored to friends and families of all ages, such as The Foodie Olympics, our festival scavenger hunt, and banana jousting (yes, you read that last one right)
  • Eccentric production - aesthetic touches we doubt you'll have seen anywhere else...

Spend your afternoon perched on a deckchair soaking in live music, or get stuck in with our activities and challenges spread throughout the site.

However you want to spend it, it's a weekend for kicking back and enjoying shared moments with your favourite people. Settle in, explore, and discover something new.
