If your ideal Sunday involves excellent food, discovering new producers and wandering around with something delicious in hand, clear your diary for this.
Nourished Communities Food Festival is returning to East London on Sunday 21 June, bringing together some of the capital’s best independent food brands, makers and creative talent for a one-day celebration of London’s thriving food culture.
Running from 11am-6pm, the festival is the annual gathering from Nourished Communities – the much-loved modern farm shop known for championing hyper-local produce and building direct relationships with farmers, growers and artisan producers. Translation? Expect seriously good food and the people behind it.
And the best bit? Tickets start at just £2.50.
After attracting more than 2,500 food lovers last year, the 2026 edition is shaping up to be bigger, livelier and even more delicious.
The line-up reads like a dream shopping list for London food obsessives. Expect traders and tastings from the likes of St John’s Wine & Bakery, Botivo, Agua de Madre, Chicha, Oli Oli Olive Oil, Cobble Lane Cured, Bold Bean Co, The North Shop, Renegade London Wine, Soffles, White Box Cocktails, Zaytoun and more.
But this isn’t just a market.
The day will also feature talks exploring food, farming, gardening and wellbeing, alongside hands-on workshops and family-friendly activities. Think lavender wand making, circus performances, face painting, colouring, dancing for kids and even a cheese masterclass.
It’s very much about community as much as cuisine – a place where long-time suppliers, curious foodies and local families can all come together and discover something new.
So whether you’re looking to stock up on cult pantry finds, sip something interesting, learn a new skill or simply spend a sunny Sunday surrounded by brilliant food and good people, this is one festival worth showing up hungry for.
