Food & Drink

At the heart of the festival, Bede Park is a hub for food, drink and live entertainment. Alongside the Main Stage, visitors can enjoy a wide selection of street food traders, a main bar and seating area. With Bede Park open later than the rest of the site, there’s even more time to unwind and enjoy the festival into the evening.

The perfect place to pause and plan your next stop. The Piazza offers a more relaxed setting to enjoy the festival atmosphere. Pick up your favourite street food, grab a drink from the bar, and make use of the seating area to eat, chat, and unwind.

Savour a delicious mix of global flavours at Riverside’s street food stalls on Western Boulevard. From quick bites to full meals, there’s something for every appetite, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and healthy options, making it an ideal stop to refuel during the day.

Castle Gardens combines great food and drink with one of the festival’s most scenic settings. Enjoy street food traders, browse artisan stalls and relax with a drink from the main bar while taking in the atmosphere of this historic riverside location.

The DMU Campus offers a lively festival space with street food, traders, and a pop-up bar. Grab something on the go and enjoy the energy of Riverside as performances and activities take place nearby.

Wherever you roam across the festival, you’ll never be far from street food favourites and global flavours to artisan treats and refreshing bars; every festival zone offers the chance to relax, refuel and soak up the atmosphere.
