Congleton Food and Drink Festival returns this summer.

Organised by Congleton Town Council, this year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever, expected to attract thousands of visitors from across the region.

Applications are now open for local producers looking to take part and with a third of the 100-plus available stalls already booked out, the council are urging them to act quick.

Congleton Town Mayor, councillor Robert Brittain, said: "The Food and Drink Festival is one of our town's most vibrant events, showcasing the very best local produce, alongside live music, street theatre, and children's activities.

"We encourage producers to apply early and join this celebration – it's an unmissable opportunity to share your products, connect with customers, and be part of a truly festive day in Congleton."

The Food and Drink Festival takes place from 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday, June 7.

The festival welcomes not only food and drink producers but also non-food vendors with products related to food, including cookware, tableware, food-themed merchandise, and artisanal crafts. Unfortunately, the organisers can not guarantee every application will be successful. Selection will be based on the uniqueness of offerings, travel distance, and the current mix of vendors.

To apply for a stall, traders must complete the online application form and provide details of their produce or related products: Apply for a Stall - Congleton Food & Drink Festival 2026
