Leeds Castle to Stage Inaugural Artisan & Food Fair

Leeds Castle is staging its inaugural Artisan & Food Fair on Friday, 8th to Sunday, 10th September.

Launching as part of the Festival of Craft & Design, the Cedar Lawn will transform into a bustling fair with over 80 artisan makers to shop from, 10 street food sellers, as well as a range of workshops led by practising artists.

Discover a huge selection of truly unique handmade items to browse and buy from. Shop jewellery, candles, home and fashion accessories, skincare and more. There is an abundance of gift ideas for loved ones – or a special treat for yourself.

Tuck into a delicious meal from Crispy Duck, Halloumi Bite, KokoDoo, Napoleat Pizzeria and more.

Or fill your kitchen cupboards with biltong, fudge, chilli jam, honey, biscuits or brownies from local independent producers. There will also be a pop-up Gin Garden bar for your afternoon aperitif.

Tap into your creativity with one of a series of workshops. Try your hand at making a Jesmonite home accessory, decorate some home accessories with Indian Block Printing or decorate a candle.

There will be something for visitors of all ages to enjoy including fantastic face painting for the little ones, garden games to bring out your competitive streak, and a bandstand with live music to get you toe-tapping.

This event is included with your Leeds Castle admission ticket. Book ahead online to receive the best price.

The Artisan & Food Fair is part of Leeds Castle’s month-long Festival of Craft & Design, an exciting event, showcasing the best of Leeds Castle’s interiors, architecture, gardens, textiles and more.
