Everyone is Welcome!

Everyone is welcome at the Yorkshire Dales Food & Drink Festival. Our team both in the office and in the field will do their utmost to ensure everyone has a great experience.

We view the usual facilities expected at events such as disabled parking, toilets, free Carer tickets and easy access viewing as a given.

Our festival family strives to include everyone, we also have a BSL Interpreter in two of our Celebrity Chef Demonstration sessions (this is the 2pm Celebrity session on each day), plus we offer a large print event map and schedule. Please get in touch if you would like to request one of these. If you need any help on the event days please speak to our lovely team in the Big Red Information Hub.

To allow those wanting to stay with us to have the best experience our camping and caravan field has a dedicated area for those with accessibility needs enabling them to be nearer to the event field and camping services.

We also offer specialized support for those with complex needs where possible. Please get in touch with our team to see how we can help.

For many a dog is also a huge part of the family. To enable this group of people to be fully included too we welcome dogs at our festival, thus making our event unique. Dogs are welcome to camp and we even provide special doggy stations, which have water, waste bags and treats.

At our festival everyone eats! Our team ensure we have a range of food which is accessible for everyone. Including halal, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, allergen free, coeliac suitable, dairy free, small portions and children’s portions.
