Cardiff locals are being encouraged to help shape the line up and menu for a brand new food festival coming to Cardiff this summer.
Founded in Bristol in 2024, Feast On is an independent food festival celebrating the very best of food, drink and local culture across the South West. Now entering its third year, the festival continues to grow, bringing people together through a shared love of exceptional food, community spirit and independent talent.
This summer, the launch of Feast On Cardiff marks an exciting new chapter as the festival expands into Wales for the first time.
Heading to the Welsh capital, Feast On Cardiff will take place at Bute Park, one of the city’s most iconic outdoor event spaces, and no stranger to hosting large-scale food festivals. A celebration of independent restaurants, traders, artisan makers and producers, and local talent, Feast On Cardiff will run from Friday 29th to Sunday 31st May 2026, bringing together the best of Cardiff’s vibrant food scene for an unforgettable long weekend of food, drink and culture.
Feast On Cardiff will showcase the rich and diverse culinary landscape of the Welsh capital, championing the independent restaurants, street food traders and artisan producers that make the city such an exciting place to eat and drink. Just like the Bristol festival, Feast On Cardiff will spotlight much-loved local favourites, welcoming local producers from across the region, as well as a curated selection of standout makers and producers from wider Wales, highlighting the exceptional quality, creativity and craft found across the country.
Visitors can expect a buzzing festival atmosphere featuring live music, open-fire cooking, a banqueting area, wine tasting, a cookery school, axe throwing, chef demonstrations, and talks on food sustainability – all rooted in Feast On’s mission to support and celebrate independent talent.
Festival Director James Haggart said, “Following the success of Feast On in Bristol, I could not be more excited to bring the festival to Cardiff. The city has an outstanding independent food scene and this feels like the perfect place for the next chapter of Feast On. We cannot wait to collaborate with and celebrate the local chefs, producers and hospitality talent that make Cardiff such an exciting food city.”
The full restaurant and trader lineup for Feast On Cardiff will be announced in the coming weeks.
Locals are encouraged to help shape the festival’s menu to highlight their favourites. If there’s a restaurant, trader or producer you’d love to see featured, recommendations are now open via the Feast On Cardiff shape the menu submission form.
