About Newtown Food Festival 2026
The Newtown Food Festival 2026 is a major annual celebration of food and drink in the heart of Newtown, and transforms the town centre into a busy open-air food market and entertainment space, attracting visitors from across Mid Wales and beyond.
The festival is centred in the Town Hall grounds area, where dozens of stalls showcase local producers, artisan foods, and international cuisine. You’ll typically find everything from Welsh lamb and cheeses to street food, baked goods, craft drinks, and specialty treats. It’s a chance for small producers and local businesses to showcase their work directly to the public.
Alongside the food stalls, the event includes live music, cooking demonstrations, and family-friendly activities. There is a strong focus on community involvement, with local chefs, musicians, and organisations taking part, giving it a lively but relaxed atmosphere throughout the weekend.
Overall, it’s one of the key food events in Mid Wales, combining a busy market feel with a festival atmosphere, and it’s designed to be accessible, free, and welcoming for all ages.
Location: Town Hall Grounds, Newtown, Powys, SY16 2NZ. Pay and Display parking is available next to the festival site
