Bishop Auckland Food Festival

Last year, the festival brought around 30,000 into Bishop Auckland to sample street food, watch cooking demonstrations and take part in family activities.

A MasterChef champion and Great British Bake Off runner-up will be among the Sunday headliners at this year’s Bishop Auckland Food Festival.

This year the festival was also a key part of County Durham’s bid to become UK City of Culture 2025 with a decision expected at the end of May.
