Strathearn's Greatest Feast
The Crieff Food & Drink Festival is our town’s premier celebration of the farmers, makers, and chefs who make Strathearn a world-class culinary destination.
Proudly sponsored this year by The Crieff Food Co - the heart of local produce on our high street - the festival kicks off at The Steading Courtyard with a vibrant Scottish Artisan Food & Drink Market. The celebration continues all week with exclusive dining events, masterclasses, and hands-on workshops right across town, before building to an exciting finale weekend featuring live kitchen demos, the high-stakes Crieff Bake Off, and live music. Whether you are here to learn new skills, compete for baking glory, or simply sample the finest local flavours, join us in celebrating everything that makes Crieff delicious!

THE FESTIVAL'S STORY
Our mission is to reposition Crieff as a leading "Scottish Gourmet Destination," honouring our history as a traditional market town while showcasing the modern "Field to Fork" journey.
By partnering with local legends and regional producers, the festival ensures the town is buzzing from start to finish. This is about more than just a great meal - it's about celebrating our wonderful agricultural and artisan community, supporting our local high street, and sharing the incredible feasts prepared by our local chefs. We are inspiring the next generation through youth workshops and fun competitions, ensuring that our food heritage remains a vibrant part of Crieff's future. Together, we are establishing a sustainable tradition that puts Crieff firmly on the global food map.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Each year, the festival brings a fresh energy to the town with a schedule designed to keep you tasting all week long. We have our Scottish Artisan Food & Drink Market kicking things off, then the celebration spreads across the town all week long as local businesses host a variety of in-store demonstrations, expert-led masterclasses, and exclusive tastings. To celebrate the occasion, many of our local bars, cafes, and eateries offer dedicated Festival Specials, showcasing unique seasonal dishes and regional pairings that you won't find at any other time of year. The week culminates in a grand finale featuring live music, free family-focused entertainment, and the return of our much-loved community food competitions. The festival offers a diverse programme of events that celebrates the very best of Crieff's hospitality and heritage.
