A ticketed weekend food festival in the grounds of Temple Newsam estate in east Leeds.

The Temple Newsam Food Festival fills part of the Leeds estate with independent street food vendors, artisan markets and bars for a weekend in August.

Free chef demonstrations are run with Yorkshire Food Guide, and there is live music, roaming comedy and stilt walkers, plus children's cooking classes and a mobile educational farm.

Dogs are welcome, and the festival supports Leeds Mind.
