Welcome

Now extended to Friday and Saturday, Neath Food and Drink Festival brings together families and food lovers in the heart of this market town.

Now in its third year, funding has been secured to expand Neath Food and Drink Festival 2011 to a two day event over Friday 7th and Saturday 8th October, and the festival is set to be bigger and better than ever before!

Over 50 food producers from across South Wales will be all come together to celebrate all that is good about Welsh Food and Drink. We have some fantastic exhibitors lined up and will include award winning suppliers from Neath’s famous Indoor Victorian Market which has recently appeared on BBC's 'The One Show'.

When you speak to the producers, the first thing that ocmes across is their passion and knowledge of the producers.  Whether it is goats milk ice cream, Samosa's or sea food, long horn beef or apple juice, everything has been made by people who care passionatley about the quality and process of the things they make. By supporting these producers not only are you getting the freshest tasty offerings, you are also helping to support businesses in your local community.

For ideas and recipes on how to use these ingredients, make sure you check out the cookery demonstrations in St. David's Church on Saturday where Sian Hindle of La Creme Patisserie and staff of the Catering Department of Neath Port Talbot College will be demonstrating the latest recipes and techniques.

Neath Town Centre Communities First will be holding a range of activities across various locations in the heart of the town.

Bay Radio will be broadcasting live from the event over the two days and will keep everyone entertained with a mixture of music, information and competions.

Restuarants throughout the town will also be hosting special themed events on Friday evening.

It is going to be an action packed two days with lots to interest everyone in venues across the town so check out the programme and listen out for announcements from Bay Radio.
