One of the North’s largest free-entry food festivals got off to a fantastic start yesterday (Saturday 24 May 2025) as crowds tucked into fine Yorkshire fayre and Michelin-starred chefs showcased their skills at Malton Food Lovers Festival.

If over 100 stalls, a demonstration stage featuring top chefs from TV and Michelin-starred restaurants is not enough to bring visitors to Malton’s Food Lovers Festival over the Bank Holiday Weekend (24-26 May 2025), then sculptures, artisan crafts, music and family fun surely make it the best day out in Yorkshire, according to event organisers!

A chef with two Michelin-stars under his belt, as well as being the winner of the Great British Menu 2007, is set to wow the crowds at the ‘Glastonbury of Food’, when he joins a host of other top chefs at the Malton Food Lovers Festival 2025.  Sat Bains will host a free demonstration at 11am on Saturday 24 May 2025.

Some of the UK’s most celebrated chefs from MasterChef, Great British Menu, and The Great British Bake Off will be taking to the stage at this year’s Malton Food Lovers Festival, taking place over the late May Bank Holiday weekend 24–26 May 2025.
