The latest street food and makers’ market, Tower Works Street Fest is back from Friday, 4th to Sunday, 6th of July 2025.

The team behind the award-winning North Leeds, Harrogate, Ilkley and Ripley Castle Food & Drink Festivals will bring back the Tower Works Street Fest at Mustard Wharf after a successful debut last year.

The market will be in Verona Square, just off Globe Road and surrounded by Tower Works and its three iconic Venetian towers, which dominate the skyline.
