Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales
Cowbridge Food and Drink Festival has grown to become one of the most popular events of its kind in Wales.  Thousands flock to the market town each year to sample the high quality artisan produce available, with only one factor ever putting a dampener on proceedings – and even larger attendance figures – the often inclement October weather.

Conwy, Wales
They are more than simply a food festival and our exciting programme includes going all out to help their visitors grow their own food. Their trees, bees and farming marquee – with its farmyard of live animals – will include lots of advice and info on growing your own fruit and vegetables. Look out for talks and advice from some of Wales’ greenest-fingered garden experts.

Barry Island, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales
The Rotary Club of Barry is set to stage an exceptional evening of fun and fireworks. The event will be on whatever the weather, so ignore any rumours to the contrary. By agreement with Pendragon Firework, based here in Wales, this year’s display should be bigger and better than ever. Go along and enjoy yourselves in what promises to be a wonderful evening of fun, fireworks and music.

The market will be within a large marquee in the Outer Ward of the Castle grounds.  There will be a variety of locally produced food and drink, crafts, toys, handmade jewellry, and fashion.
