It promises to be much more than a ‘food festival’ – as well as all the culinary delights, there will be attractions and entertainment for all ages over the two days, bringing a feast of food and fun to Rhondda Cynon Taf this summer.
Attractions this year include The Runner Pack, a fun-filled show featuring a brace of ducks being put through their paces by their friendly sheep dog pals; Black Mountain Falconry, an exciting Birds of Prey display; Game Show Mania, with host Chunkie Russell; and The Black Rock Llamas, starring Corky, Caspa and friends.
