Llangollen Food Festival

North Wales's flagship food festival fills the Royal International Pavilion grounds and spills into town, with over 100 exhibitors of Welsh meat, cheese, chocolate and bread, chef demonstrations and live music. There's a lighter side too — speed truffle-making and a pumpkin carving competition among the stalls.

Free to attend both days, 10am–5pm, with plenty to keep families occupied alongside the serious eating.
