About this Event
Old Oak and Park Royal Food Festival
مهرجان بارك رويال للطعام
This one-day event, brought to you by OPDC, Segro and Loom Projects, and an array of local food businesses, celebrates the vibrant food and culture of Park Royal – a district steeped in culinary history and home to more food businesses per square km than anywhere else in the capital.
Historically home to many well-loved household brands such as Heinz, Guinness, Walls and McVitie's, Park Royal is today, a key destination for Lebanese, Syrian, and other Middle Eastern cuisines and also home to hundreds of small food businesses producing food from across the globe as well as large scale producers of everything from ready-meals to cupcakes, crisps, and sushi.
The Old Oak and Park Royal Food Festival will bring together our diverse communities and food businesses to celebrate the cultures, traditions, stories, and recipes that make Park Royal a foodie-heaven.
The event will include gastronomic walking tours, talks, tastings and free food sampling, film screenings, cooking demonstrations, storytelling, music, and more.
Don't miss this chance to celebrate the vibrant food and culture of Park Royal. Join us for a day filled with mouth-watering flavours and the warm spirit of community.
