Harrogate — it's that time again!

We're returning to the peaceful parklands of Ripley Castle on August 22nd & 23rd, 2026, marking our seventh year in this beloved corner of Yorkshire. Thanks to your continued support, we're able to return to this charming village for another summer weekend celebrating global flavours, local community and easygoing entertainment. 

As we step into the new year, we're also stepping into the realm of wild and whimsical — new production touches, fresh activities and few unexpected moments you won't find anywhere else.

We'll keep you guessing for the moment... but lets just say there's plenty to look forward to.

Take your time wandering between street food stalls and artisan treats, or settle into a deckchair with something good to eat and the castle backdrop behind you. However you spend the day, it’s a warm celebration of food, people and place.

Stamp the dates in, gather your favourite people, and join thousands for a relaxed summertime feast beside an iconic Yorkshire landmark.
