WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
We’re absolutely thrilled to say that Saltburn Food Festival is set to return after a four-year break on Sunday 30 July.
The last festival was held in 2019, so this year’s event will be the first since Covid and the subsequent post-Covid economic recovery ruled out 2020 and beyond.
It’s fantastic to be back for what we think is the tastiest day not only on Teesside but pretty much anywhere else in the country.
A firm favourite on the national foodie calendar, the annual festival has previously been flagged up by The Sunday Times as one of the reasons why Saltburn is ‘one of the best places to live in the UK.’
Now, around 100 of the best local food producers from Teesside, the North East and North Yorkshire are set to join Saltburn’s much-loved independent foodies, as the town centre is again transformed into a buzzing festival village for a day packed full of good local food for all the family to enjoy.
Milton Street, Dundas Street East and West and the town’s Station Street will be closed to traffic, and become alive with the sights and smells of great local food.
A bustling street market will feature an exciting mix of world street food, veggie & vegan specials, local artisan bakers and cheese makers, locally produced beer, cider and gin, outdoor dining and picnic areas and street theatre to create a family-friendly festival right in the heart of the town.
The festival’s popular Live Food Theatre will also make a hugely welcome return on an outdoor stage in Station Square, featuring a tasty mix of some of the region’s best chefs and exciting newcomers.
As in previous years, and to help keep prices as affordable as possible for families to enjoy the day, admission to the festival remains free.
Feel free to check our website and, especially, our Facebook page for further updates and let’s look forward to a fantastic day on Sunday 30 July.
WHAT WE’RE ABOUT
We bring good local food right into the heart of the town we’re proud to call home, we also run Saltburn’s popular monthly Farmers Market, held on the second Saturday of the month.
The Food Festival is inspired by memories of a family holiday to the historic French wine region of Bergerac on the North Bank of the Dordogne.
Sitting at a night market, enjoying amazing local food right there on the street, we loved the sense of community and togetherness around the whole place.
We thought there was nothing they were doing in France that we couldn’t do in towns and villages in this country, so we decided to give it a go right here in Saltburn. 10 years later we are here getting ready for Saltburn food festival 2023!

DOGS
Good News for Dog Owners
We love dogs, but the Festival does get very busy and isn’t the ideal environment for your furry friend.
Rather than let your dog get stressed, our friends at Star Paws Saltburn are offering doggy daycare and walks so you can enjoy your day and be sure your dog does too.
They can collect your dog from the festival, walk them and care for them (and fed if required) for either 2 hours or 4 hours, before being returned to you at the festival.
If you just want a short break they will also be offering walks for either 30 minutes or 1 hour.
Advance bookings are available but not essential. For more information or to book, message their facebook page directly here
Or, just come to the festival and look for one of the Paw Pals vehicles (parked either end of Milton Street) and ask a member of their staff.
And, obviously, please don’t leave your dog in the car.
