COME AND ENJOY A TASTE OF CARDIGAN !!!

Over the past 11 years this festival has grown in stature, and is now recognised as West Wales’ premier food festival. The aim of the festival is to celebrate the River Teifi and the diversity of food grown or prepared in the area. There will be several activities & attractions for the whole family to enjoy.
100 FOOD PRODUCERS
A wide range of delicious local produce

As usual there will be river events, children’s activities, entertainment and cooking demonstrations throughout the day in addition to dozens of food producers and local businesses. Many of these are ‘True Taste’ award winners and they will all be offering lots of tempting things to eat and drink.

Also featured this year will be a Crafts marquee and a bottle bar to further enhance our visitors’ experience. Access to the site will be easy, as we are providing the usual free park and ride service to and from the Festival.

The same as many other towns and villages in the UK, the annual carnival is one of Borth’s highlights on the social calendar, floats and fancy dress walkers gather outside the Golf Club, where the judges make their decisions on the best entries, a difficult task sometimes as there are many excellent floats and fancy dress participants.

After the judging, the floats and fancy dress walkers make their way along Borth Village High Street usually led by the Samba Agogo band from Aberystwyth, and around 20+ floats, along with lots of groups and individuals, who take part in the carnival yearly.

Lots of local people also decorate their homes in a bid to be named ‘Best Decorated House’; there are prizes too for the ‘Best Decorated Business’, too a lot of hard work and imagination goes into each individual entry and every float, as well as all the decorated floats.

Borth Carnival also attracts many individual and walking groups in fancy dress, Borth Mother and Toddlers’ Group drew there inspiration one year from the 1970s Swedish super group Abba.

After the procession, the carnival crowd moves on to the Village Playing Fields behind Borth’s Community Hall for food, fun and games, wardens of the CCW Ynyslas Nature Reserve hold workshops with children to create special themes for Borth Carnivals, crowds of locals and visitors line Borth High Street to watch the colourful parade, a sight not to be missed.

A collection is made during the Carnival and this is shared out between the most various deserving causes in the village ie R.N.L.I., Senior Citizens, Borth Fire Station Volunteers, Borth Train Station Volunteers, Plant Dewi (Borth Family Centre) and many many others over the years, So take plenty of change with you, as each float will have collection receptacles on board, and the walkers too.

At the Borth Community Hall and Playing Fields, usually a Councillor and the Carnival Queen hand out prizes to winning individuals, groups and floats, and there are many other activities and refreshments for children and adults as well.

The Carnival brings Borth Village and villagers together, and everybody, young and old, puts so much effort into it, you cannot but be carried along with all the efforts on this Special Borth Carnival Day every year.

Borth Carnival this year Friday 6th August 2010 put it in your diary. We’ll be there, look forward to seeing you all, don’t forget to buy a Carnival Programme.

Gŵyl Cerdded Aberteifi
Cardigan will hold it’s annual Walking Festival in association with Menter Aberteifi and the Cardigan Ramblers Group.

Cardigan and it’s surrounding area is truly a walker’s paradise. This year’s festival programme features a host of new walks that encompass the beautiful Teifi Estuary. The estuary of the River Teifi is at the centre of spectacular landscpaes and seacapes. The river valley is a Special Area of Conservation whilst the Cardigan Bay Special Area of Conservation lies seaward. The area is blessed with a wealth of historic attractions such as Cardigan Castle, birth of the National Eisteddfod and Cilgerran Castle.

There is a selection of walks which will appeal to everyone, ranging from the strenuous to the more relaxed family walks. So come along and explore beautiful West Wales.

The weekend starts on Friday evening with a talk and reception at the Guildhall before a ‘town walk’ will help to acquaint visitors (and local people!) with Cardigan’s rich history and architectural heritage.

Over the course of the weekend there will be walks of varying demand and challenge, from a 3-4 mile ’stroll’ up to 12-13 mile expeditions.
All walks will have guides, maps and support provided, so everything is guaranteed
(except the weather!).
