Festival offers menu of food and music


* The Riverside Park bandstand is one of two musical venues at this year's Llangollen Food Festival.

A new location will help Llangollen Food Festival offer a feast of music as well as food later this month.

For the first time the popular foodie extravaganza will be using the bandstand in Riverside Park as the venue for a tasty menu of music and dancing between 10am and 6pm on both Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15.   

Adjacent to the bandstand, festival-goers can discover the culinary delights on offer at food trucks, from burgers to halloumi fries.

There will also be a dedicated bar area serving up a selection of beverages.

This year there will be two musical stages at the festival - the one at the bandstand and also in Centenary Square.
Acts on at the two venues include Danny Gruff, Dim Parcio, Mark Morgan, Mechanical Owl and Robert Jones.

Around 60 exhibitors have been confirmed for the festival, which organisers say will be bigger and better than ever. 

The two-day event aims to showcase the best of Welsh and international cuisine. From artisanal cheeses to mouth-watering chocolates, from succulent meats to fresh produce, our exhibitors will offer a smorgasbord of delectable treats to satisfy every craving.

Food enthusiasts can look forward to live cooking demonstrations by renowned chefs who will share their culinary secrets and inspire your inner chef. 

A whisky and cheese tasting evening with Penderyn whisky and Welsh cheese from The Little Cheesemonger and a wine tasting evening with Pip Gale of Gale's Wine Bar will give you the chance to discover new and exciting flavours. 

And to round off the first day, Llangollen Railway will be running its famous Ale train in partnership with Hafod Brewery. Tickets will be available for the tasting events and the Ale Train will be available soon at the Food Festival website and social media pages.

For the younger foodies in the family, there will be a wide range of children's activities, ensuring a fun and educational experience for kids of all ages. From interactive food-themed activities to hands-on cooking classes, there's something for every little chef in the making.
