With just days to go until the foodie favourite that is the Cowbridge Food and Drink Festival returns this weekend (May 26-27th), here’s a little taste of some of the fabulous entertainment planned for festival goers.
- Tickle the taste buds! From perfect pickles to moreish meats, curries, cheeses, chutneys and so much more – just a flavour of some of the tasty treats available to sample and buy from some of the region’s finest artisan producers.
- Quench the thirst – scrumptious ciders, great gins and the finest real ales, whiskeys and wine to enjoy. Tempting teas and premium coffees too!
- Sweet treats – chocolate brownies, cupcakes, confectionery and fabulously-flavoured fudges and flapjacks guaranteed to hit the spot.
- All aboard! Join the Drunken Sailors on their converted fishing boat – serviced by a hearty crew offering the very best draught beers and ciders on tap.
- Fun for all the family. Child friendly and free activities to entertain all ages – willow weaving, pétanque, birds of prey and so much more.
- A fabulous festival first as the Vail Food Trail drops in to the Old Hall Gardens, celebrating sustainability with a jam-packed schedule across both days; craft activities, foraging fun, wildflower seed bombs, fruity face making, interactive quizzes and beautiful bees.
- Food Demo delights – celebrating World food on a Welsh plate at the Duke of Wellington on High Street. Watching, learning and laughing with the chefs and exhibitors involved and better still, getting to sample the tasty treats being prepared.
- Pick the perfect gift from one of the many lovely craft stalls. Handcrafted woodwork, stoneware, candles, jewellery and glass art; spoilt for choice!
- Bring on The Bear! New for 2024, seek out ten brand new fabulous exhibitors hosted in the hotel’s stunning St Quentin’s Suite in a mini indoor festival.
- Beat the traffic – free park and ride from sites including Cowbridge Comprehensive and Penllyn Estate, with buses flowing throughout the day from one site to the next and taking visitors to the heart of the action right in the centre of town.
- Caring for the environment – water stations providing free top ups for visitors with their own water bottles and in recyclable paper cups – no plastic, no polystyrene and responsible waste management.
- Soak up the festival vibe – a town coming alive! A high street bustling with atmosphere as local traders join in the festival fun – a food festival, but so much more than just a food festival.
