Wrexham Food Festival 2019: The Biggest One Yet!
This year’s event is set to be
bigger and better with over 85
local and regional food producers
expected, chef demos from local
restaurants, cookery classes, live
music and a fireworks display on
the Saturday evening.
Speaking about some of the
exhibitors that people can expect to
see, food festival committee member
Sam Regan told us:
“It will be bigger than ever and we
are delighted to say we have 11 start
-up businesses attending, such as
Doughnutology, Ffa Da Coffi, Gardd
Gwyllt and Bao Revolution. They are
all new over the last year and will be
showcasing their products so we
would encourage everyone to come
and see their new offers and ideas. It
is great to see Sabor De Amor, one
of the start-up slots from last year
now in town-centre premises and we
look forward to seeing this year’s
fledgling businesses flourish.”
This year there are no advanced
sales with wristbands being sold on
at the entrance. Prices are remaining
the same at £4 for adults and £2 for
children; under-eights come in free.
There is also a £10 ‘family ticket’ that
covers two adults and three child
wristbands – the wristbands allow reentry
throughout the day.
Committee member Alex Jones also
reeled off a range of exhibitors:
“For those who wish to drink
responsibly during the day, Aber
Falls Gin, Wood Brewery, Rosie’s
Cider, Magic Dragon of Aqueduct Ale
and of course Wrexham Lager will be
attending amongst others. Wrexham
Lager are also sponsoring the live
entertainment again this year.

“The festival will have the huge
marquee again containing sixty (ish)
exhibitors, including Sabor de Amor,
Riverside Spirits, Chilly Cow Ice
Cream and Happy Hedgehog Foods,
to name just a few. We also have a
separate demo kitchen marquee with
a chef theatre where you will be able
to watch some of the region’s best
chefs educate and entertain
throughout the weekend. We don’t
do celebrity chefs. The opportunity to
showcase local talent far outweighs
anything a celeb could offer and they
are our local celebs to celebrate!”
Some free parking will be available at
town centre car parks that are owned
by the council. This does not include
the Tŷ Pawb multi-storey car park.
Please note free parking only starts
after 10am. Anyone who wishes to
park before 10am will be expected to
pay to park as per the car
park’s usual charges and the
council say this will be strictly
enforced.
Andy Gallanders from Bank St
Social is again organising the
live events programme, “On the
Saturday, the Wrexham Lager
stage (bandstand) will host a
full line-up of local musicians
with superb headliners Rhythm
Train. The Coverlovers are
headlining on Sunday.
Andy added, “It’s been a privilege to
be involved with curating the
entertainment for Wrexham Food
Festival for the second year running.
The addition of free parking is not
only great for the festival, but a huge
boost for the whole of the town and
one we encourage businesses in the
town to take advantage of!”
