StrEATlife Festival Returns to Ally Pally

Looking for things to do in London this May Bank Holiday? StrEATlife is back at Alexandra Palace for two days of incredible street food, craft drinks, live music and some of the best views in the city. Taking over the iconic South Terrace on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 May 2026, this much-loved free London street food festival brings together over 20 of the capital’s top traders for a laid-back, feel-good weekend at one of London’s most scenic spots.

A street food line-up worth coming hungry for

Expect vibrant dishes, indulgent treats and global flavours from across London’s buzzing street food scene. From Caribbean favourites at Jerk Hub and bold Latin plates from Latin Soul, to Middle Eastern bites from Lil Watan, there’s something for every taste.

You’ll also find street food classics from Rollin Dogs and Mr Pork, famed for its must-try pulled pork sliders, alongside fluffy steamed bao buns with Asian-inspired flavours from YouBao. With plenty of vegetarian and vegan options across the line-up, there’s something for everyone.

Sweet treats and summer favourites

Indulge in desserts from Bambam Crepes, Waffle Float and Oh Baby, or cool off with a classic scoop from the on-site ice cream van, perfect for a sunny afternoon on the Terrace.

Drinks, music and unbeatable views

Alongside the food, expect ice-cold craft beers, crisp ciders and freshly mixed cocktails, plus refreshing alcohol-free options, all set to a lively soundtrack of DJs and live music across the weekend.

With panoramic views across the London skyline, the South Terrace transforms into one of the city’s largest outdoor beer gardens – the ultimate spot to relax, eat well and soak up the Bank Holiday atmosphere.

Free entry – just turn up

There’s no need to book ahead – entry is completely free. Simply turn up, grab a bite, a drink and settle in for a weekend of great food, music and good vibes.
