We are delighted to announce that our annual Cheese Festival will be returning from 09 to 18 October 2026.
The Festival shines a spotlight on the incredible producers and food and drink businesses in the Yorkshire Dales – cheese very much included! Local businesses in and around the National Park will be serving up special events, menus, and tastings to mark the occasion.
Our map brings together all the events and activities taking place this October, making it easy for visitors to explore the Dales and discover the wonderful array of local producers and food and drink experiences on offer. The Festival is spread right across the Yorkshire Dales, with local businesses hosting an exciting variety of events.
The map pins the venues hosting Festival activities, including tastings, demos, pop-ups, workshops, guided walks with cheesemakers, farm-style events where you can meet the makers behind it all and hear their stories. These events bring food to life in the very landscapes it comes from, alongside some truly unique experiences.
Use the map as your perfect planning tool to create a foodie trail of your own. Whether you’re searching out the finest local cheeses or plotting a scenic driving or walking route packed with delicious pit stops, this map is your go-to guide.
