20TH TO THE 22ND OCTOBER 2023
Dartmouth Food Festival….. having grown from humble beginnings in 2004 into a first class feast of entertainment featuring workshops, seminars, tastings, competitions, demonstrations and over 100 hand-picked exhibitors (many of which are from Devon), we aim to be truly the very best that the South West has to offer.
Described in The Telegraph as a ‘heady mix of celebrity chefs, parties, food markets, tasting shacks and demonstrations’, the festival is now a landmark event on the culinary calendar. What gives us extra stand out is the fact that we’re a free festival. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come along and take part without being charged an entry fee.
Join us again in 2023.

Dart the Dart is a really fun, foodie trail along amazing scenery from Totnes to Dartmouth. It is approximately 13 miles/22km on public footpaths, bridleways and minor Devon lanes. It is open to all runners or fast walkers and is definitely not a race, although a reasonable level of fitness is preferable to get the best enjoyment from the event.
The entry fee is £40 and this includes a variety of delicious nibbles and drinks at stops along the way where you can sample local food and drink generously sponsored by local pubs, cafes and suppliers.
This is the second time the event has been held and last time it proved such a success we decided to run the event again. Fancy dress is encouraged and the theme this time is Coastal. Use your imagination and join in the fun – there may be prizes!
All funds to go to support Dartmouth Food Festival. Why not join in the fun and have an amazing day in the beautiful South Hams?

“Everything that is great about British cooking, growing, harvesting, catching, eating, and drinking is represented here for the four wonderful days of the Dartmouth Food festival every October. It is a festival that is loved by locals and visitors alike and is now a landmark event in the culinary calendar. It is a party atmosphere from start to finish and is held on the banks of the beautiful River Dart which was voted the second most desirable coastal location in the UK in a recent national poll.
I absolutely love it and love being part of it.”
