THE FESTIVAL'S STORY
Our mission is to reposition Crieff as a leading "Scottish Gourmet Destination," honouring our history as a traditional market town while showcasing the modern "Field to Fork" journey.
By partnering with local legends and regional producers, the festival ensures the town is buzzing from start to finish. This is about more than just a great meal - it's about celebrating our wonderful agricultural and artisan community, supporting our local high street, and sharing the incredible feasts prepared by our local chefs. We are inspiring the next generation through youth workshops and fun competitions, ensuring that our food heritage remains a vibrant part of Crieff's future. Together, we are establishing a sustainable tradition that puts Crieff firmly on the global food map.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Each year, the festival brings a fresh energy to the town with a schedule designed to keep you tasting all week long. We have our Scottish Artisan Food & Drink Market kicking things off, then the celebration spreads across the town all week long as local businesses host a variety of in-store demonstrations, expert-led masterclasses, and exclusive tastings. To celebrate the occasion, many of our local bars, cafes, and eateries offer dedicated Festival Specials, showcasing unique seasonal dishes and regional pairings that you won't find at any other time of year. The week culminates in a grand finale featuring live music, free family-focused entertainment, and the return of our much-loved community food competitions. From interactive youth challenges to the chance to win big in the Golden Whisk Raffle, the festival offers a diverse programme of events that celebrates the very best of Crieff's hospitality and heritage.
