Pembrokeshire Fish Week Festival - tbc if going ahead for 2023
Described rather cryptically as 'a festival for those who love fish – and those who don’t', this award-winning late June festival offers seafood tastings, foraging sessions and filleting classes with top chefs. There are also lots of coastal activities to try all over the county – have a go at a snorkel safari, eco-fishing, pond dipping, surfing or coasteering.
Pembrokeshire Street Food Festival
Tenby's South Beach is the place to be for this fantastic festival, showcasing the best street food around. There are food stalls providing all kinds of tasty world cuisine, including Greek, Korean, Moroccan, Afghan and Mexican.
July
Lampeter Food Festival, Ceredigion
Held on the sweeping lawns of the Lampeter campus of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David on a Saturday in late July, Lampeter’s food festival has plenty to keep families entertained. There are tempting stalls loaded with organic vegetables, artisan cheese, delicious little cupcakes and old-fashioned preserves, plus live music from local bands.
August
Cardigan River and Food Festival
Cardigan’s festival has been running since the late 1990s. Set beside the broad River Teifi, it’s a great place to discover small, independent Welsh food producers including award-winning cheesemakers and rare breed livestock farmers. River events such as coracle races and RNLI demos make this festival unique.
September
There are plenty of local producers to chat to at Narberth's lively weekend festival. Leading Welsh foodies Angela Gray and Elizabeth Luard, who are patrons of the event, always take part and other chefs demonstrate recipes and techniques, too. Live bands will entertain you when you sit down to munch on your purchases.
