The two‑day event, organised by Neath Port Talbot Council, has become one of the area’s biggest draws since it began in 2009. Organisers say more than 20,000 people a day typically attend, with food and drink producers from across Wales joining the line‑up.
Local and Welsh producers on show
Among the exhibitors this year are:
- Toca Vida Gin, distilled in the Vale of Glamorgan.
- Mac Daddies, serving gourmet macaroni and cheese.
- Popty Cara, a Pembrokeshire bakery known for traditional Welsh cakes and gingerbread.
- Harry’s Hog Roast from Llanelli, alongside Cwm Deri Wines and Liqueurs.

“Since starting in 2009, the Neath Food and Drink Festival has become one of the most anticipated events of its kind in Wales, drawing crowds of more than 20,000 visitors each day. With food and drink from Neath Port Talbot, across Wales and further afield, there will be something for everyone.”
