North Wales Celebration of food in Autumn
|
If you like food and drink and who does not. Then North Wales is the place to be this Autumn. Events are listed in order of date. Conwy Honey Fair, Monday Beekeepers and honey buyers converge on the High Street at the Conwy Honey Fair. Browse stalls for honeycomb, heather honey and the famously delicious cloudy Welsh honey, more than a tonne of which is sold by lunchtime every year! The Conwy Honey Fair in North Wales dates back more than 700 years to the reign of King Edward 1st, when local beekeepers were first given the right to sell honey within the walls of the North Wales town, every September 13th, from midnight to midnight, without charge. The right to hold the fair is in the town's Royal Charter. To read an interesting history of this event The Mold Food and Drink Festival Visitors this year will find the wide range of food exhibitors that they have come to expect plus fantastic live entertainment throughout both days. There will be much more emphasis on local produce and our great local chefs. The popular Interactive Cookery Zone will be running demonstrations and our chefs will be delighting the crowds with their own entertaining brand of cooking. New for 2009 will be the final judging of the 'Best (professional) Chef in Flintshire'. The Welsh Culinary Team will be presenting in the Cookery Theatre during both days. Don't miss the Gig Gŵyl Fwyd Yr Wyddgrug during the evening of Friday the 18th featuring a family twmpath, before the fantastic band from Blaenau Festiniog, Gwibdaith Hen Fran. The Mold Food and Drink Festival website Anglesey Oyster & Welsh Produce Festival10th and 11th October 2009 Anglesey is proud to host an annual Oyster & Welsh Produce Festival. This year sees the 12th festival take place but it was a very different event in the early years. It used to be an informal social event whereby vast amounts of local oysters & alcohol were consumed - served with a strong music, singing and a Welsh and Irish dance offer. A voluntary committee was formed in 2000 to direct the event into the future. The aim was to broaden the appeal for non seafood lovers, and as a result a Welsh Food Fair was introduced in 2000. Anglesey Oyster & Welsh Produce website Conwy Feast Credit-crunched shoppers will get twice as much for their money at this year’s Gwledd Conwy Feast food festival with free entry to Conwy Castle.The castle will be part of the event for the first time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Cadw, the Welsh Assembly Government’s historic environment service.“We are delighted that Cadw are this year allowing our visitors free access to Conwy Castle - this means that we can now include this world heritage site in our programme,” said Gwledd Conwy Feast’s director, Jane Hughes.“The event is growing each year and an additional venue of this magnificent character will really increase the enjoyment of our visitors.”Around 25,000 people a year visit the festival. It will be held on October 24 and 25 and ticket prices will be the same as last year at £4 per adult and free to under-12s. |
