Yorkshire Weekend Festival 2026

Join us on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd August for a weekend celebrating the very best of Yorkshire.

There are some things Yorkshire does better than anywhere else. Great food. Skilled craftspeople. Proud local businesses. Warm hospitality. And communities that come together to celebrate them.

This August, we're bringing it all together for one special weekend at the Blacker Hall Farm Yorkshire Day Festival.

From 10am until 4pm on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August, join us for two days packed with delicious food, talented local makers and everything that makes Yorkshire such a special place to live, work and visit.

Discover the Best of Yorkshire

Throughout the weekend, our farm will be filled with carefully selected local businesses, artisan producers, talented makers and independent retailers, giving you the opportunity to discover unique products, meet the people behind them and support Yorkshire businesses.
