The festival trail winds through the very best of Oakham’s historic scenery. Crowds are currently gathering in the Market Place and along the High Street. The celebration continues into the Wisteria Hotel and the majestic Oakham Castle, offering a unique chance to browse hand-crafted preserves, local spirits, and specialty bakes against the backdrop of Rutland’s rich heritage.

Whether you are looking to stock your pantry with regional delicacies or simply want to enjoy lunch in the open air, the variety on display this year is truly impressive. From savory pies to international delicacies, there is something to satisfy every palate.

However, time is of the essence for those still at home. The festivities are scheduled to conclude at 4:00 PM today, meaning you have just enough time to head into town, grab a final treat, and enjoy the tail end of one of the county’s most anticipated events. Don't let the afternoon slip away the stalls are open, the sun is out, and the best of Rutland’s food and drink is waiting for you.
