With just days to go until the very first GOWER FOOD AND DRINK FESTIVAL, which will take place this Saturday (September 7th) at Pennard Playing Fields, organisers are promising a jam-packed day full of fun for all the family.
As well as featuring over 40 fantastic exhibitors – set to tempt the taste buds with an array of sweet and savoury treats, moreish meats, scrumptious ciders, vegetarian varieties, perfect preserves and so much more – the festival, which is funded by the Rural Anchor Fund at Swansea Council will have plenty more to entertain throughout the day.
The Gower Society will be dropping by to chat all about local art and history, alongside the RSPB and Southgate Archery Club.
Youngsters will enjoy choosing their fun ‘festival faces’ with Shani’s glitter and paints, activities and games including hook a duck, great photo opportunities with Swansea Command Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue’s on-site fire engine and can select a treat from the festival’s toy stall.
Spin the Wheel with Travel House will give festival goers the chance to win some great holiday- related goodies and with live music planned throughout the afternoon, there’s guaranteed to be a great atmosphere.
Dogs on leads are welcome and nearby parking is available at Pennard Primary School.
Speaking ahead of the event, Gower Food and Drink Festival manager Tracy James-Lieberman told us…….
“I can’t believe the festival is now only a few days away and we’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to join us at this first for the Gower.
There is so much planned throughout the day – such a variety of exhibitors and with the family fun planned along with the live music, there’s guaranteed to be a fantastic atmosphere; we can’t wait for the weekend!”
Favourites on the Swansea food scene including Distill and Fill with their beautifully bottled cocktails, Babita’s Spice Deli, Tir a Mor Bakes, Gower Preserves and Private Chef Christos – hot on the heels of the opening of the gorgeous Gower Deli – will be joined by a whole host of other Welsh producers at this exciting new addition to the festival calendar.
Whether it’s for the banging buffalo burgers, beers and spirits, ‘Hipi Hipi’ healthy shakes, international inspirations or spicy sensations, The Gower Food and Drink Festival is set to make its mark this year.
Alongside all the fabulous food and drink, locally handcrafted jewellery will also be on the menu and promising a great day.
