Oundle Food Festival 2026 – A Foodie Day Out for Northants Families

If you’re looking for something a little different to do with the family this June, I reckon this one is well worth pencilling into the diary. Oundle Food Festival is back for 2026, and it sounds like the perfect excuse for a day out in one of Northamptonshire’s most beautiful market towns. Whether you’re a proper foodie or just love a good browse around a market with the kids in tow, this is a lovely one to add to your summer list.

What is Oundle Food Festival?

Oundle Food Festival is an annual celebration of local and artisan food and drink, taking place right in the heart of Oundle Town Centre. Expect stalls packed with local producers, artisan food and drink, sweet treats, cheese, baked goods and so much more — all set against the backdrop of one of Northamptonshire’s most charming towns.

When is it?

Date: Saturday 20th June 2026
Time: 9am – 4pm
Location: Oundle Town Centre, Northamptonshire

Entry is free to attend — though I’d recommend checking with Oundle Town Council before publishing to confirm this, as it wasn’t explicitly stated on the source page. You can get in touch via admin@oundle.gov.uk or 01832 272055.

Getting there

Oundle is a beautiful market town in East Northamptonshire, well worth a wander around before or after the festival. There are public car parks in the town — check the Oundle Town Council website for parking details ahead of your visit.
