EVENT DESCRIPTION
Central Yards Edible Art Fair was conceived by founder and creative director Arbiona Cadman, CEO of the renowned events and catering company Feste Group, with art curation by independent art consultancy firm Art-Partners, and proudly sponsored by Central Yards. This reimagined cultural event that blends art, taste and imagination, will take place from 26 March to 5 April 2026 at the Central Harbourfront Event Space in Hong Kong. Set to delight people of all ages, Central Yards Edible Art Fair is a journey of discovery and wonder that is sure to spark curiosity. Visitors are invited to walk through the 10-gallery experience at their own pace. Tickets are on sale from today, with early-bird offer available until 15 February at www.edibleartfair.com.
With a vision to reinvent Central and revitalise the city, the inaugural Central Yards Edible Art Fair brings a new sense of excitement, discovery and fun—creating ripples that extend from Hong Kong to the world.
Designed for trendsetters, families, and the culturally curious, the Fair invites locals and visitors alike to experience art in a bold, new, multi-sensory way. Set within a nearly 20,000 sq ft purpose-built tent at the Central Harbourfront Event Space beside the future Central Yards development, this immersive journey spans ten galleries, each inspired by an iconic art movement and paired with a uniquely crafted edible creation. From Impressionism to Surrealism, Modernism to Neo-Pop, generations of artistic expression are reimagined through taste, texture, and imagination.
Two galleries will be dedicated to Hong Kong’s art landscape: Hong Kong Contemporary Art and the New Ink art movements. These will feature immersive, site-specific installations developed in collaboration with renowned Hong Kong artists exclusively for the Fair, with details to be announced soon. Visitors can expect an accessible, interactive, and photogenic experience that redefines how art is explored and enjoyed.
The Pop It! gallery, inspired by the Neo-Pop movement, is an installation delightfully decorated with reflective bubble shapes in different sizes. A jelly balloon dog confection is retrieved from a giant claw machine that dominates the space. Roll With It, inspired by Modernism, features colour block light boxes and panels. An attendant serves guests with a colourful piece of savoury and sweet edible ribbon – available in an assortment of block colours.
Expressionism is the inspiration for Drip, featuring floor and walls decorated in the expressionist style and a drink experience offering flavoured drinks through coloured tubes, which are served to visitors. Go Bananas! represents the Conceptual Art movement through a playful display of replica fruits taped to the wall. Extending the sensory journey, a delicious miniature edible banana taped to a board is offered for visitors to take.
The Surrealism movement is represented in Feast Your Eyes, with a fully laid table inside a veil of curtains. Visitors put their heads behind the veil to discover the vivid setting. A tin of edible pearls offers an unexpected Dali-esque element of surprise. Blue-tiful is an optical illusion focused on perspective that highlights Optical Illusion Art and plays with the shape of an egg to form a perfect round shape within an immersive, blue-lit backdrop. In this gallery, visitor will receive an ‘Op-art egg’, an egg-shaped puff pastry filled with egg custard, presented in a classic egg carton, extending the Optical Illusion Art experience into a perfect multi-sensory indulgence.
The Impressionism movement is showcased in Bloomin’ Marvellous, an installation in two parts. First, a garden of giant flowers followed by a floral animation gallery with bean bags. ‘Focaccia flowers’ are blooming throughout the gallery, each delicate paper blossom cradling a piece of focaccia at its centre, filling the space with the rich aroma of olive oil and rosemary that entices every visitor to take a bite. A study in Spatialism is presented in Cabinet of Curiosities, where guests are invited to pick a ball from a colourful central display before opening a matching cabinet. Inside, a chocolate bonbon awaits – igniting the taste buds in a sweet cocoon.
Sessions run daily from 10am to 9pm, with timed entry slots available every 30 minutes. Early-bird ticket prices start from HK$256 per person for adults. Each ticket includes priority entry at a designated time slot, admission to all ten galleries, and ten exclusive edible treats.
In addition to the main experience, visitors can also join Edible Workshops, an engaging experience that allows participants to create their own edible art, further enhancing the interactive and educational enjoyment. Workshops are available at an additional cost of HK$280 per person, per session.
Further programming details will be announced at a later date. Stay up to date via the website at www.edibleartfair.com.
