An important announcement for anyone who was planning to head to the Island today…

Weather Update – Barry Island Food Festival

It is with a very heavy heart that, due to the forecast of high winds and severe weather conditions, we have made the difficult decision to cancel today’s Barry Island Food Festival.

The safety of our traders, visitors, performers and staff must always come first, and after careful consideration, we do not feel it is safe to proceed today.

We know how disappointing this is. Our incredible traders have worked so hard to prepare for the weekend, and we are absolutely gutted to have to make this call.

The good news is that the festival will go ahead tomorrow, and we’re planning a full day of fantastic food, drink, music, markets and family-friendly activities.

If you’re able to join us tomorrow, we’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Our traders have lost a day of trading, so we’d love to see as many people as possible come down, support local businesses, eat well, shop local and help us make tomorrow a blooming brilliant day.

Thank you for your understanding, patience and support. We can’t wait to welcome you tomorrow.
