Edinburgh Folk & Food Festival returns this week with an exciting blend of culinary creativity and culture. From the 18 - 27 July you can join us at Assembly George Square Gardens to experience the best street food from Scotland and beyond and bless you ears with some fantastic folk acts.

This year’s edition promises a rich menu of food-focused events, with Edinburgh Food Social returning to take centre stage in a series of hands-on workshops and experiences. Set within the lively Palais du Variété, the festival’s food programme is curated to inspire and educate. Edinburgh Food Social, a social enterprise known for teaching young people and communities about local, seasonal food, is hosting a variety of interactive sessions.
