Narberth Food Festival
Get in the mood for the Festival with Friday’s SPAN Arts gig at the Queen’s Hall.
On Saturday or Sunday, take it easy. Select something to eat from our many food stalls, collect something to go with it from a hot drinks seller or our licensed bar, and relax in the seating around the Music Stage.
There’s an eclectic mix of the best of local talent with something to suit everyone’s taste: some people come here just for the music. Sample some of it by following the links.
Here's the complete line-up

JOSH DOUGHTY
