New Halal Food Festival makes its debut in Manchester this Summer taking place at the BEC Arena the bank holiday weekend on Saturday 27^th August and Sunday 28^th August 2022.

With over 100+ exhibitors, street food vendors, 4 indoor arenas and an outdoor fun fair we are set for a tasty bank holiday weekend. ‘The Halal Food Festival’ are extremely excited to make its debut in Manchester over 10,000+ foodies expected!

Greater Manchester is renowned for its dining options and diverse culture. Attracting people from surrounding areas such as Blackburn, Bolton, Bradford, Dewsbury and more rush to the ‘Curry Mile’ every weekend. We feel this is a great opportunity for a huge sector of the community to be represented.

Our street food vendors are looking to represent from all over the globe including ‘Afrikana’, ‘OMayalsia’, ‘The Dutch Fishmen’, ‘Phat Jo's', 'The Butchers Kitchen' and Manchester’s very own and afro- Caribbean ‘Rita’s Reign’.

The main arena will play host to your favourite Halal brands such as ‘Armaan’, ‘Ceekays’, ‘Shana’ and ‘The Halal Food Shop’.  Celebrity chefs such as ‘Homemade Savouries by Sara’ as featured on BBC and The Islam Channel will be hosting live cooking demonstrations, workshops and competitions live in our cooking theatre. A vast array of gourmet desserts, savouries and lifestyle vendors will also be available.

Arena 2 is set to be a ‘Artisan Market’ hosted by ‘Muslim Instashop Expo’. Expect fine delicacies, home décor, arts and crafts, fashion and beauty. This has been a great platform for small, start-up and Instagram businesses in the midlands at Birmingham’s Monthly Muslim Market.

Other areas include the outdoor fun fair and kids play arena with activities hosted by our official charity partner, ‘Islamic Relief’.

With Manchester’s harmonious diverse mix of ethnicities, our aim is to become an annual date within Manchester festivities and calendar.

Starting from 12 noon to 8.00pm each day, be sure to arrive with an empty stomach!
