Festivals in Salisbury

From cultural festivals through to food and drink festivals, there is lots of choice on a visit to Salisbury. We’ve put together details of some of the key festivals that take place in and around the city:

Salisbury Food and Drink Festival

Organised by the Salisbury International Arts Festival, the food and drink festival usually takes place during September for around one week. Hear various foodie talks before the main headline event, the food market, takes place. Here you can see cookery demonstrations, sample local foods or head to the beer tent to try some of our local ales and ciders.

Other festivals

Slightly further afield, at the Larmer Tree Gardens there’s the annual Larmer Tree Festival and End of the Road Festival. Look out for the Chalke Valley History Festival and Fisherton Festival too.
