Celtic Fine Food & Wine Festival - Saturday 17th May
Come and savour the Celtic flavour of Wales at this bountiful springtime fair. As many as 3,000 visitors are expected at Fishguard Town Hall, between 10am and 4pm. There will be 30 stall holders from all parts of Wales offering some delectable treats. Local folk singers will accompany the town band in providing some medieval and traditional Celtic sounds to complete the festivities. The fair is in its seventh year since it was conceived in 1997 to help commemorate the French Invasion of 1797 and local retailers and pubs tend to lend their support and join in the festivities with special offers for the day.

Why not take a look afterwards at some local handiwork at the Craft Fair at St Mary's Church Hall, Fishguard. It is held in aid of Shalom House Hospice and will no doubt to round off a great day out.
