The East Midland Food Festival has been going for 21 years and is a showcase of food from across the East Midlands and beyond. All undercover.

In 2018 the New York Times listed it as one of the 5 most interesting festivals in the world.

Famed for its artisan producers of cheese, pies, charcuterie, chocolate and all sorts of goodies, the festival is one of the largest UK regional food festivals.  A number of them offer tasters to tempt you to buy.  The festival also boasts and array of drink producers from cider and beer to the strong spirits such as artisan gin and whisky. All of these stands are under cover and so accessible whatever the weather.
