Delapré Food Festival 2025

After a stunning launch in 2024, Delapré Food Festival is back in 2025 - a fabulous foodie and family day out.

Artisan food and drink stalls will throng the lawns at Delapré Abbey, bringing the beautiful urban, country house to life for one grand summer weekend.

There'll be a professional chef demo stage, outdoor bars, cocktail workshops, tastings, cheese masterclasses, free family circus and live fire cooking school.

Tours of the historic Abbey, one of the gems in Northampton's heritage tapestry, are included in the ticket price.

Brought to you by the creators of Towcester Food Festival and Bite Street NN, Delapré Food Festival is a celebration of artisan food and drink from Northamptonshire and beyond.

The south lawn will feature a bustling street food market where you can eat to the strains of live music from our acoustic stage.

There'll be face painting and bouncy castles for the kids, a free family circus for kids big and small, and paid-for cookery classes.

The chef demos will and feature the best local chefs, including the award-winning Bart Polinski, head chef at Hibiscus, and James Peck from Ember in Wellingborough.

Each chef will cook a favourite dish using fresh seasonal produce while offering tips on how to improve your own cooking.

The cheese masterclasses offer the chance to sample some of the finest cheddars and blues while learning all about cheese from expert Shane Holland.

The Four Pears in Little Houghton will host the cocktail workshops. Additional paid tickets are required for the cheese masterclasses and cocktail workshops.

And Ember, NN's premier live fire restaurant, will host the live fire cooking school, where budding pitbosses can learn from the pros. Extra ticket required.

The Orangery will be offering cream teas on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

There are guided tours of the house twice a day or you can explore at your leisure.

The house will be open on both days from 10am to 4pm. Sorry but no dogs or food or drink in the house.
