OnRoundhay is the ultimate day out for standout live music with mouth-watering food and drink experiences along with a fun-filled program of entertainment for all ages, where under 12s go free! Tickets are on sale now.

Alongside a stellar music line-up, headlined by James and Primal Scream, the family-focussed festival will play host to a mouth-watering line-up of top food stars on the John Lewis Chef Demo Stage. Top of the bill is author and chef Olia Hercules, cooking from from her award winning book of traditional Ukrainian cooking Mamushka. The Boho Chef AKA, Stefano Corvuccio, founder of the Culinary Institute of Bologna joins as a special guest and will be cooking alongside Yorkshire talent including Murray Wilson (Horto at Rudding Park) Matthew Hunter (The Star Inn) Jono Elvin (Salvos) and local rising star Greg Lewis (Pintura).

John Lewis, who are set to open their northern flagship store at Victoria Gate later this year, will also be on hand with an interactive Cookery School hosted by MasterChef semi-finalist (and Leeds local) Elizabeth Cottam, so festival-goers will be able to get properly hands on in the kitchen. Elizabeth will be cooking one of her signature Masterchef dishes along with members of the public.

If that’s not enough, Leeds Indie Food are laying on an enormous foodie feast, with over 20 street food traders cooking innovative cuisine from all over the world. In a city becoming famous for its street food, OnRoundhay will host the biggest banquet of them all, with the best traders from the north and nationwide. Whether you fancy fresh surf and turf cooked over coals (ClawHide), award winning Dirty Burgers (Patty Smith’s), vegan South American flavours (Yakumama) or just a great Flat White (Laynes Espresso), you’ll be well catered for.

Harvey Goldsmith CBE is proud to be bringing OnRoundhay to Leeds: “The OnRoundhay Festival follows the success of OnBlackheath in London. I am delighted that we are launching this festival with John Lewis to celebrate the opening of their new store in Leeds. Roundhay Park is a great venue and the day will be full of activity for all the family. There is a great line up of artists and chefs as well as fun with Puffin World of Stories.”
