Despite the morning's tragic incident on the river, which meant a large police presence in the town for a large part of today, the first day of Llangollen Food Festival went ahead and managed to attract large numbers of people.
Spread across the town were a huge variety of stalls, together with tastings, live music, and entertainment at in Market Street, the Town Hall, Llangollen Railway, Riverside Park, Gales Wine Bar, the Silver Band HQ in Parade Street and - new for this year - Blas Cookery & Wine School also on Parade Street.
All the venues were doing well, with the Town Hall being especially busy from early on.
Organisers say visitors to the festival can expect a weekend full of delicious food and drink, live music, cookery demos, whisky and port tastings, children’s activities and the ever-popular Real Ale Train on the railway.
There is free parking available all weekend in car parks operated by Denbighshire County Council at Brook Street, East Street, Hall Street, Market Street and Mill Street.
The festival continues tomorrow (Sunday) from 10am to 5pm.
