The Welsh stop of the touring Great British Food Festival, with street food, producers, chef demos and live music at Margam Country Park.

The Great British Food Festival is a touring series of ticketed food weekends at country estates and parks, and Margam Country Park near Port Talbot is its only stop in Wales. The organisers say the series has welcomed more than a million visitors over 16 years.

A typical day includes chef demonstrations on a headline stage, a live-fire cooking stage, food challenges and quizzes, hands-on cooking for children, artisan producers, street food, bars and live bands. Some hands-on sessions carry an extra charge.

The festival advertises a rain-day guarantee and badges its events as pet friendly.

If you add photos: I took these photos myself at this festival. They don’t show anyone’s face close up or other identifiable people (crowds in the distance are fine), or personal details such as tickets, screens or number plates. I give foodfeastivals.co.uk permission to show them on this site with credit to my display name.

This review is my own genuine experience of the festival. I have not been paid or offered anything (including free tickets) for it, and I don’t organise, work at, trade at or sponsor this festival or a competing one.
