Posted on : 24 Sep 2024

Tredegar Park was host to the first Risca Food FEASTival on Saturday 14th September.

The FEASTival featured a whole load of tasty treats, cookery demonstrations, funfair rides and plenty of other activities for the thousands of visitors to enjoy.

Over 3,500 visitors were recorded at the event via the town centre footfall and some of the parks entry gates.
Many traders at the FEASTival had sold out by midday and lots of local businesses were also well supported.
