Are you looking for a good excuse for a holiday in Wales, in the middle of October?

A Festival that will take you to a magical land, full of traditions. With the evocative Castle as a background. You will have a fantastic holiday.
Three days of gastronomy, with Street-food and incredible culinary proposals, along Quayside and High Street. At Craft Beer Bar and The Feast Bar, two fantastic bars along Quayside, you can enjoy drinks and the best craft beers.
Lancaster Square will also be home to interesting gastronomic initiatives.
