The Fishguard Bay Food Festival
The Fishguard Bay Food Festival is an annual celebration of Welsh food, drink and sustainable living, bringing together local producers, chefs, growers, artisans and our community for a day of great food, learning and entertainment.
Founded in 2023, the festival has quickly become one of Pembrokeshire’s favourite food events, welcoming thousands of visitors each year to discover the very best of Welsh produce while supporting local businesses and celebrating our rich food heritage.
Organised by the Fishguard Bay Sustainable Food Initiative CIC, the festival is run by volunteers and reinvests every pound back into community food projects, including Ford Pawb, our community kitchen.

MORE THAN A FOOD FESTIVAL
Expect live music, family activities, community organisations, opportunities to meet local producers and plenty of chances to discover why Pembrokeshire is such a special place to eat, drink and explore.
COMMUNITY AT ITS HEART
Everything we do is rooted in community.
The festival creates opportunities for local schools, youth groups, charities, volunteers and businesses to work together, helping to inspire the next generation and strengthen our local food economy.
Every ticket sold and every partnership supports the wider work of the Fishguard Bay Sustainable Food Initiative, including Ford Pawb, our community kitchen.
