The Leeds stop of the touring Great British Food Festival, held in the grounds of Harewood House over the late May bank holiday.

The Great British Food Festival brings its touring format to Harewood House, between Leeds and Harrogate, for three days over the late May bank holiday.

The ticket covers a headline stage with chef demonstrations and competitions, a live fire stage, live music and a children's zone. Masterclasses, foraging walks and fairground rides cost extra. Local producers, hot food stalls and bars fill the site.

Dogs on leads are welcome in the grounds (not the adventure playground). Over the festival weekend parking is on event fields, Blue Badge parking is provided, and standard Harewood tickets are not valid.

If you add photos: I took these photos myself at this festival. They don’t show anyone’s face close up or other identifiable people (crowds in the distance are fine), or personal details such as tickets, screens or number plates. I give foodfeastivals.co.uk permission to show them on this site with credit to my display name.

This review is my own genuine experience of the festival. I have not been paid or offered anything (including free tickets) for it, and I don’t organise, work at, trade at or sponsor this festival or a competing one.
