Bishop Auckland Food Festival

The Bishop Auckland Food Festival in the Durham Dales is the largest food festival in the North East. This award winning event takes place on April 17th.

Set in the leafy and historic grounds of Auckland Castle, this free-to-enter festival showcases the finest food producers in North East England and has grown into one of the region’s must-visit annual events.

Packed with interesting belly warming food stalls, including chilli sauce makers Trees Can’t Dance, national award winning cheese makers The Durham Cow Cheese Company, warming cordials from Glendale Ginger and cracking pies from North Country Lass, this is a great day out for all foodies.

The festival isn’t just about food. Local arts and crafts people flock to display the best of their creative talent and products including patchwork quilting, jewellery making and beading. The British Army also hosts an annual obstacle course for children.
