Visitors heading to the Brecon Beacons Food Festival 2026 can once again take advantage of a convenient Park & Ride service, helping to make travelling to one of Brecon’s busiest annual events easier while raising money for local charity Accessibility Powys.
Following its introduction at last year’s festival, the Park & Ride will return on Saturday 3rd October 2026, giving visitors an easy alternative to finding parking in Brecon town centre.
The service is being sponsored and operated by Williams Coaches, whose support means festival-goers can enjoy free return bus travel between Brecon Cattle Market and the festival at Brecon Market Hall.
Visitors can leave their vehicle at the Cattle Market for a £3 donation, with the money raised going to Accessibility Powys.
With thousands of visitors expected throughout the day, organisers hope the service will once again help reduce pressure on parking in Brecon town centre while providing a simple and convenient way to get right into the heart of the festival.

Festival organiser Andrew Powell said:
“We’re delighted to be bringing the Park & Ride back for another year. Parking can understandably be at a premium in Brecon when the festival is taking place, so this gives visitors a really straightforward alternative – park at the Cattle Market, jump on the bus and arrive right in the heart of the event.
“A massive thank you must go to Williams Coaches for once again sponsoring and running the service. Their support makes it possible for us to offer the bus completely free of charge and is a fantastic contribution towards making the festival as accessible and enjoyable as possible.
“We’re also really pleased to continue working with Accessibility Powys, with every £3 parking donation helping to raise valuable funds for the charity. It’s a great example of local organisations working together to make the day better for visitors while supporting a very worthwhile local cause.”
The Brecon Beacons Food Festival takes place at Brecon Market Hall on Saturday 3rd October 2026, bringing together more than 60 food and drink producers alongside live music, entertainment and activities for all the family.
