On Saturday 9th August 2025 we once again gathered a whole host of brilliant local brands to celebrate their fantastic food & drink with 5000 visitors! Our free family-friendly festival took place from 10am-6pm in the historic venue of Exeter Castle.

We enjoyed incredible street food including Hot Dogs, Fresh Pasta, Falafel Wraps, Pizza, Mexican, Greek Gyros, Thai Food & more. Plus all the sweet treats you can dream of… ice cream, brownies, bakes, cannoli, bean to bar chocolate, ice lollies and it’s not over yet! There was plenty to take home & enjoy when the festival’s over - including cheeseboard essentials, pantry staples, cellar specials and delicious Devon preserves.

A brilliant celebration of Devon talent both off and on the stage with foodie talks & tasters all morning & an afternoon of live acoustic performances too.
