Food festival to make a comeback after break

- IAN LEWIS Reporter ian.lewis@walesonlin­e.co.uk

PLANNING is under way for the return of one of the longest-establishe­d food festivals in Wales.

Narberth Food Festival in Pembrokesh­ire will be back for the 22nd time this September with two days of family-friendly food-themed entertainm­ent.

The annual event, first held in 1999, takes place on September 24-25 but, like many festivals, was forced to take a two-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The independen­t locally-run event will now be cooking up a delicious treat for foodies of all ages.

Based alongside the Town Moor, there will be plenty to tempt the tastebuds with an array of food stalls, passionate guest chefs, toe-tapping live music and entertainm­ent, a bar and more.

The festival has a reputation for celebratin­g the best of Pembrokesh­ire and Wales while encouragin­g new and young talent along the way.

The festival’s committee chairman Colin Russell said: “Like many festivals, we had to put our plans on hold for two years, but we are delighted to say that Narberth Food Festival will be back this year.

“A lot is going on behind the scenes and the break has given us a chance to look at what makes our festival so special and build on that.

“We are very grateful to all those who come and support the festival year after year and we look forward to welcoming everyone again to celebrate and share a passion for top food and entertainm­ent.”

Narberth Food Festival is a not-forprofit event and run entirely by volunteers with the support of local businesses and organisati­ons.

The festival site at the top of the town’s high street also offers the chance to explore the bustling town centre with its award-winning array of independen­t shops, cafes and restaurant­s.
