Calling all Food Festival Fans – Join us for a jam packed Bishop Auckland Food Festival 2020!
Bishop Auckland Food Festival is returning for 2020 on the 18 and 19 April bringing together more fabulous local and UK street food traders and producers to sell their delicious treats. We will have more outdoor spring atmosphere with live music and attractions including our live Cookery Theatre, plus lots to see and do for the kids and lots of food festival goodies to take home too. We have an extensive range of street food catering and bars offering delicious food & drink from around the world. So make sure you MAKE IT! and check out some of the AWESOME features we had last year by clicking the link below.
Applications for traders for Bishop Auckland Food festival 2020 are now closed. If you are a producer and wish to register interest for future festivals please click the button below.
We focus on producers from the North East, Cumbria and Yorkshire, but will consider traders from outside of these areas if their products are particularly unique, as we like to provide a fresh and new offer for our visitors.
One of the best parts of #BishFoodFest is connecting local traders to thousands of hungry visitors desperate to discover their new favourite food!
This week the government have launched the #ShopLocal campaign to celebrate British high streets and encourage customers to come back to their safe local shops, supporting the local economy and local jobs.
We want to invite our fantastic traders to join in by shouting about their business and what makes them unique. 👇
What can your business offer to customers that they cannot get elsewhere?
Showcase your shop/stall using the hashtag #shoplocal and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy might share it! They're on the lookout for the best digital content from local businesses.

We will be working with the community from 17th to 20th April. Our Outreach programme will reach schools and leisure centres in the region with some fantastic guests on board. The programme will include demonstrations on creating delicious and simple healthy dishes, offer more information on where our food comes from and help with healthy choices. More information about the programme will be announced soon.
With regret, we have taken the decision to cancel the Bishop Auckland Food Festival which was due to take place on 18 and 19 April. This follows government advice on measures which should be taken to limit the spread of COVID-19.
For more information about the cancellation, visit the Durham County Council website.
