North London’s favourite free street food and craft beer festival, StrEATlife, returns to Alexandra Palace this May Bank Holiday weekend (Saturday 23 – Sunday 24 May 2026), bringing a packed line-up of top traders, live music and unbeatable views across the capital.
Set on the Palace’s iconic South Terrace, one of London’s largest outdoor beer gardens, the two-day festival will see over 20 of the city’s best street food vendors serving up vibrant dishes, indulgent treats and global flavours. Visitors can tuck into Caribbean favourites from Jerk Hub, bold Latin dishes from Latin Soul, and Middle Eastern bites from Lil Watan, alongside street food staples like Rollin Dogs to lobster rolls from Seawise. Expect fluffy steamed bao buns with Asian-inspired flavours from YouBao, alongside plenty of vegetarian and vegan options across the line-up.
Got a sweet tooth? We’ve got you covered, with indulgent desserts from Bambam Crepes, Waffle Float and Oh Baby, plus classic scoops from the on-site ice cream van, and so much more from a line-up of crowd-pleasing traders.
Alongside the food, expect ice-cold craft beers, crisp ciders and mixed cocktails, alongside refreshing alcohol-free options, all set to a lively soundtrack of DJs and live music across the weekend.
With free entry and no tickets required, simply turn up, grab a bite, a drink and settle in for a laid-back Bank Holiday celebration in one of London’s most scenic spots.
