WELCOME
to the Wakefield Festival of Food, Drink & Rhubarb.
Friday & Saturday 10am – 5pmSunday 10am – 4pm
As you may know, Wakefield is part of the Rhubarb Triangle - an area of West Yorkshire renowned for producing the finest forced rhubarb for hundreds of years.
It’s so good, Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb has received a protected name status alongside other famous delicacies. Never mind Champagne and Parma Ham, Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb has earned its status and rightly so!
This traditionally grown vegetable (as odd as that may seem) is celebrated annually in its place of origin, in the heart of the Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle – Wakefield. The Food, Drink and Rhubarb festival is a celebration of all things Rhubarb, and a must in the ‘foodie’ calendar.
Come with an empty stomach, leave your New Year diets at home and enjoy lots of delicious food and drink. There’s plenty of rhubarb-inspired products available alongside some of the best produce Yorkshire has to offer.
