Ely's Food, Drink & Craft Festival 2025

We are really excited to be able to announce that we are returning to Ely for the Food, Drink and Craft Festival on Palace Green for the Early May bank holiday weekend.

2025 is a celebration as we celebrate May 1945 and the end of the War in Europe. With a wide range of food vendors, traders and an entertainment programme from some wonderful local organisations, this promises to be another truly memorable weekend of fun and remembrance.

On May 4th and 5th head up to Palace and Cross Green where you’ll find over 70 stalls offering a range of artisan food and crafts, along with the vibrant street food scene that has made this weekend one of the most attended events in the county!

VisitEly are intertwining the VE80 theme into the celebrations by welcoming the wonderful Knightingales. The Knightingales are a dynamic harmony trio who bring timeless classics to life with stunning vocals, vintage glamour, and infectious energy. With tailored shows for every event, they transport audiences to the sound of the 1940s wartime favourites, 1950s Rock and Roll, and we are sure they’ll captivate the theme perfectly.
