The Kenilworth Food Festival will return this Sunday for the first time in three years, having been cancelled since 2019 due to the pandemic.

Organised by CJ's Events Warwickshire, the event is expected to draw over 15,000 people to the town centre.

The festival will run from 10am to 5pm on Sunday 24 July in Abbey End and through the town centre.

  • Warwick Road from Randall Road to Abbey End Car Park entrance.
  • Station Road between the junction of Warwick Road and the entrance to Abbey End Car Park.
  • Barrowell Lane between the junction of Barrowfield Lane and Warwick Road.

Alongside 90 traders there will also be children's activities including amusements and craft workshops.

A second market will also be hosted in Talisman Square showcasing over 25 local artisan traders.

Festival goers will also be treated to live music throughout the day on a temporary stage.

Stage Timetable:

  • 11am - 12noon Taylor Louise Duet
