The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society (RWAS) has unveiled plans to launch a brand-new Welsh Food and Drink Village at the 2023 Royal Welsh Show!
Branded as Gwledd | Feast, the new food village will showcase the very best of Welsh produce in a relaxed, family-friendly environment with seating for more than 500 people and a full programme of entertainment on a live music stage.
Gwledd | Feast will be situated near Entrance B and will be open for the duration of the four days. Food is a key element to all Royal Welsh events and, building on the success of the popular Food Hall, the new village is set to be a fabulous feast of fun and food!
A wide range of companies will take part in the food showcase, creating a real microcosm of the Welsh food and drink industry from savoury delights to sweet treats.

Within Gwledd | Feast will be working with the charity, Big Bocs Bwyd (Big Food Box) which operates ‘pay as you feel’ food banks from containers situated outside schools.
The charity’s aim is to ensure that no child is hungry and that every child can learn how to make good food choices that enable them to thrive. Containers and children from six primary schools will be at the show to promote their actions, and how they are working to address food inequality and poor diet.
Together with the delicious range of food outlets, the food village will also feature highly acclaimed Welsh musicians, such as Bronwen Lewis, the Welsh Whisperer and folk trio, Sorela.
