When Gwledd Conwy Feast launched back in 2003, who could have predicted we’d be celebrating our 16th anniversary?

2019 is the Year of Discovery here in Wales, so come and join us for a Feast of new things, from TV BBQ chef sensation Chris Roberts working his fiery magic, to the Calon Wlan wool fair where you can see the whole process: from sheep shearing to spinning and the finished article; create a beast and ride it in a virtual world and check in to the bug hotel.

Back again for 2019 are all the foodie favourites, including an impressive array of street food stalls stocked with goodies from across the globe, and an astonishing range of produce from Wales and further afield – all available to try and buy, plus cooking demonstrations and workshops for all ages. And, as usual, there’s an exciting schedule of music, crafts and visual arts. What will you discover this year? Everything you need to know about the Feast is in this programme. Enjoy the weekend!

Cashpoints Conwy has three cashpoints: outside and inside Spar, High Street, inside a converted telephone box, Lancaster Square. However, the Feast gets very busy and they can run out of cash, so best to come prepared.

Dogs Dogs are not allowed in any Feast areas, except assistance dogs. Conwy town is extremely busy during the Feast; dogs don’t like it, best to leave them at home.

Buggies For child safety please do not take buggies into food halls and other busy areas. The use of buggies as shopping trolleys is not permitted. There is a buggy park next to the River Food Hall.

Bag Drop You can leave your shopping (including chilled items) at the bag drop in the River Food Hall.
