The Oxford Food & Drink Festival will return to Broad Street from Friday 09 October to Sunday 18 October, bringing 10 days of food, drink, independent traders and entertainment to the city centre.
The free-entry festival, organised by LSD Promotions, follows its first Oxford event in 2025. It will bring street food traders, artisan producers and independent businesses to Broad Street, with food and drink from a range of cuisines alongside sweet treats and speciality products.
The festival will be open from 10.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Saturday, and from 10.00am to 5.00pm on Sundays.
Alongside the food and drink stalls, the event will feature independent traders selling products including gifts and handmade goods. The festival’s programme also includes live music and roaming entertainment.
Broad Street’s central location is expected to attract a mix of residents, visitors, students and people working in the city. The organiser is promoting the event as an opportunity to combine food and shopping with a visit to the city centre.
The 2025 event saw Broad Street transformed into a vibrant hub of food, culture and community, welcoming residents, visitors and students returning to Oxford for the new academic year.
Building on the success of last year’s festival, the 2026 festival is scheduled to run for 10 consecutive days, giving visitors opportunities to attend during weekdays as well as at the weekend.
Entry is free and no advance booking is required for general admission.
