Purley BID’s Food & Drink Festival is an annual event in June that brings the Purley community together.

Bringing Purley to life, there is something for everyone at the Festival. Along with a visit from the Mayor of Croydon, there is also great food and drink from Purley-based shops, cafes, takeaways and restaurants. There is always excellent entertainment throughout the event, including live music, free activities for children (sand art, face painting, Mad Hatter’s tea party) and much more.

Purley BID runs this Festival to engage with residents and bring people to Purley so that the BID businesses can promote themselves and take part in this, not to be missed, highlight of the year. The Food & Drink Festival encourages local restaurants, cafes and bars to showcase themselves and promote the day and night-time economy in Purley. The ever-popular Smoothie bike, sponsored by Frost Estate Agents, keeps people entertained throughout the whole event, along with the fun Blind-folded Lemon Catching Championships, sponsored by Tesco.

Many Purley businesses take part in the Festival, including Lupita Café, The Jolly Farmer’s Pub, Elliot’s Bar & Restaurant, The Pear Tree Pub, Dominos Pizza, Tesco, Coughlan’s Bakery, Big Mike’s Calypso, The Next Level Café & Patisserie, Baxfood Ltd, 4Locos Argentinian Steak House, The Cake Tailor and Art & Craft CRO so the choice is always varied.
