Street Food Warehouse are delighted to announce Festival of Fire, a new concept bringing a spark to the picturesque seaside town of Milford Haven! Festival of Fire is a family friendly street food festival focusing on quality chefs cooking wonderful dishes with the theatrical use of fire.

Adding to the fiery spectacle, the internationally renowned, fire production company Walk The Plank will be exhibiting their spectacular, flaming orange fire garden to accompany the sizzling traders! Plus live fire performances and music will be entertaining audiences across the weekend. In partnership with the Celtic Collection’s Tŷ Hotels, the three day festival will see the beautiful Milford Haven Waterfront (SA73 3AF) transformed into a cauldron of fire themed food, sculptures and performances, with the audience invited to enjoy the sights, smells and tastes of fire!
