The Welsh Food and Drink Festival at ICC Wales 27th & 28th August

Start: Saturday, August 27, 2022 10:00AM
End: Sunday, August 28, 2022 6:00PM

We have expanded artisan food and craft producer markets from a single base in Chepstow to now include other market towns such as Thornbury, Coleford, Lydney, Ross on Wye, Cardiff, Yate, Cinderford. Each market brings a blend of local and Welsh produce to widen the offer of Welsh produce. The ICC, as the new and exciting venue of over 40,000 square feet, is hosting the event which will take place over the busy bank holiday weekend in August 2022. We have a varied and exciting programme on offer which will include all Welsh produce and outdoor as well as indoor arenas packed full of demos, talks, stalls and music. We even have planned activities to keep children entertained. The main auditorium where many of our stalls will be located can expect to hold 5000 seated but we firmly believe there to be a potential for 12000 ticketed customers over the weekend. The Venue The iconic ICC Wales, will be the setting for this event.
