Opening Times
This year, Sophie's Street Feast will be open from 11am to 5pm.
Tickets
Entry to Sophie's Street Feast is free, but we ask visitors to book a free ticket in advance. This helps us plan for the day, manage visitor numbers and parking, and make sure everyone has the best possible experience.
Accessibility
This event is for everyone!
MK City Discovery Centre strives to provide accessibility for all visitors. The site is designed to be accessible, with ramps, wide pathways, accessible toilet facilities and accessible amenities throughout. There is designated accessible parking close to the courtyard, which will be signposted on arrival. If you require any assistance, please speak to one of our parking stewards or members of the Street Feast events team.
To help create a more comfortable experience for those who prefer a calmer environment, we'll be holding a Quiet Hour from 11am to 12pm, with low-level background music from the DJ and no live performances in the festival tent during this time.
Our friendly events team will be on hand throughout the day (and easy to spot in their bright pink Street Feast t-shirts!) to help ensure everyone has a fantastic experience. If there's anything we can do to support your visit, please don't hesitate to ask.
First Aid
A qualified paramedic will be on site throughout the day. If you need any medical assistance or support, please speak to a member of the Street Feast team in a bright pink t-shirt and we'll make sure you get the help you need.

We are a family-friendly event and little ones are very welcome. Baby changing facilities are available inside the main barn and breastfeeding is welcome throughout the venue.
There'll be plenty to see, do and explore throughout the day, but please be aware that there are areas within the grounds of MK City Discovery Centre that include open water. These areas will be clearly marked on event maps and signposted around the site.
If you become separated from your child at any point during the event, please speak to a member of the Street Feast team immediately and we'll be happy to help.

Charities
Donations from this year's event will support Toybox, NutriTroops and the 5 On It Foundation. Together, these charities help vulnerable children around the world, support healthier futures for young people, and create positive opportunities for children and families across Milton Keynes.
Throughout the day, there will be plenty of ways to support their work. You can find out more by visiting the charity tents or scanning the QR codes located around the venue.
Keep an eye out for special menu items and event exclusives from our vendors too, with proceeds from selected sales helping to support the charities' work.
Sustainability
As a team, we're committed to reducing waste and promoting sustainability at Street Feast. That's why all drinks from the Discovery Centre bar will be served in reusable cups. There is a £1 charge for each cup, which you're welcome to keep as a souvenir. All proceeds from cup sales will be shared between Toybox, NutriTroops and the 5 On It Foundation.
Don't forget to bring your cup back to the bar when you're ready for a refill. By reusing cups throughout the day, you'll be helping us reduce single-use waste and make Street Feast a little greener.
