Cambridge Food and Drink Week

Cambridge is preparing to celebrate its food scene as Cambridge Food & Drink Week returns from 9 - 17 May 2026. Organised by Cambridge BID, the event brings together everything people love about eating and drinking in the city — from cosy cafés and bakeries to lively bars and standout restaurants — with special events and offers throughout.

Across the nine days, there’ll be plenty to enjoy, whether you’re after a quick coffee, a memorable meal, or something different. Many venues offer set menus, tastings, and unique experiences, along with themed food and drink trails to help you discover local favourites and hidden gems.

The week begins on Saturday 9th May with a launch event at Lion Yard Shopping Centre, supported by Grey’s Bars, where visitors can enjoy complimentary mocktails while they shop. Whether you’re local or visiting, it’s a chance to explore new flavours and make the most of what Cambridge has to offer.
