Festival Passport 2015

Leeds Indie Food Festival Passport

£15 each

We know you love food and drink. We know you really love food and drink. So the guys at Leeds Indie Food have created a Festival Passport so you can squeeze every last drop out of the fortnight.

You don’t need to be a Passport holder to buy most tickets, but you’ll miss out on loads of special dishes, great discounts and even some exclusive events…

Rock up at Bundobust and your Passport will get you 25% off all food. It’ll nab you access to a special sandwich in The Greedy Pig and a pizza from Sela Bar no one else can get their hands on. You’ll get you cheaper tickets at North Bar and Hyde Park Picture House, bottomless filter coffee at Mrs Atha’s and epic tacos at Pinche Pinche. There are loads more benefits and discounts to be had, and we’re adding extra every day.

They’ll all be listed on the Leeds Indie Food website throughout the festival.

Your Passport also gets you free entry to our huge closing party, Leeds Feast, a weekend of the nation’s best street food, craft beer, cocktails, art, music and family fun all held in the historic surroundings of The Tetley.

But let’s not forget the most important thing about a passport: filling it with stamps! You’ll be able to collect ink from the businesses and events you visit during the festival, and they’ll be awarding prizes at Leeds Feast for those with the most, and those with the most varied collection.

Try and pick up a stamp from each of our strands: Dining, Beer, Wine and Spirits, Street Food and Food Culture, or simply go for broke and fill your book.
