The Festival

The Festival

Every great festival starts with an idea.

For Free From Festival, that journey began with Margarita's passion for creating a welcoming space where everyone could discover incredible food, regardless of their dietary requirements.

What started as a vision to celebrate independent free-from brands has grown into a thriving community that brings together producers, experts, and thousands of visitors who share a love for great food without compromise.

Today, Free From Festival is more than just a shopping experience. It's a place to discover exciting new products, learn from industry experts, support independent businesses, and connect with a community that understands the importance of inclusive eating.

Every event continues to be shaped by the same passion and purpose that inspired the very first festival!
