Warrington Food and Drink Festival returns this May

Warrington Food and Drink Festival is back for 2026, returning to the town centre on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th May after a successful first year.

Across the weekend, Bank Park and the grounds of Warrington Town Hall will be filled with food, drink and live activity, bringing together up to 80 traders. Expect a mix of street food, independent producers and local favourites, giving you a good reason to head into town, try something new and support Warrington businesses.

There will be more happening beyond the food. Live chef demonstrations, hands-on workshops and a music stage will run across both days, alongside family activities including circus skills, balloon modelling, face painting and a small fairground.

If you visited last year, you will remember the atmosphere it brought to the town centre, with over 67,000 people coming in across the weekend. This year builds on that, with more to see and more to do, making it easy to spend the day in Warrington.

Come in for lunch, stay for the afternoon, or drop by to see what is going on. It is a chance to experience the town centre at its busiest and support local businesses at the same time.

If you are a trader, performer or workshop host and would like to be involved, you can register your interest via Warrington BID at [email protected].
