THIS WEEK: Urmston's Food & Drink Festival returns for second year

16 June 2025 by Rhiannon Ingle

Love Urmston, powered by Urmston Partnership, has now announced the return of YUM! (Your Urmston Matters) - Urmston’s very own Independent Food & Drink Festival. 

Following the success of last year’s debut, the festival is back for its second serving on Saturday, June 21st, 2025, from 11 am to 5 pm, once again transforming the M41 site on Railway Road into a buzzing hub of flavour, fun, and local pride.

Hosted once more by Urmston resident and food and drink presenter, Matty White, this community celebration will bring together top local street food vendors, artisan producers, and drink retailers, alongside live cooking demos, family activities, and entertainment.

As always, Love Urmston is run entirely by volunteers and committed to supporting the town through fundraising and free community events - from Christmas lights to seasonal markets and now, an annual food celebration.

Now in its second year, YUM! continues to shine a spotlight on Urmston’s independent food scene and the passion of the people behind it. It also invites the wider Trafford community to come together - whether you live down the road or are discovering the town for the first time.

“Bringing YUM! Food & Drink Fest back for a second year is incredibly exciting. It’s a brilliant way to celebrate what makes Urmston special — its community and fantastic food and drink scene; welcoming people from near and far to experience the town at its best,” said Fred DavidsChair of the Love Urmston committee

“And as a committee, we’re proud to support our incredible local independent businesses who put their heart and soul into everything they do.”

Local independent businesses include; English Rose Bakery, Flour & Soul, Kelder Wines, Cof Cof Coffee, Inforno Pizzeria, Sai Surbhi, Dan's Cookies, Banga Curries, Barrowfield Dog Park Cafe, JJ's Caribbean Kitchen, YNOT Bar & Restaurant, Dev's Ice Cream Company, Maturo, Mulino, The Greek Village and Pomona Island Brewery.
