Event Organiser, Andrew Powell said “I am delighted to offer this exciting new park and ride service to everyone coming along to this year’s event. A big thank you to Brecon Chamber of Trade and Brecon Motors for supporting the logistics and cost of setting up this invaluable service.

“The parking will be available at Brecon Cattle Market on Warren Road (postcode LD3 8EX) with regular busses taking visitors to and from Brecon Market Hall in the centre of town. Brecon Cattle Market offers a large space for parking and is easily accessible from the Brecon bypass.

“Brecon Beacons Food Festival attracts thousands of visitors each year and to have a solution like this to make parking easier, ensure less traffic congestion in the centre of Brecon and free to the public is a great addition to the event. The service will run for the full duration of the event, from 10am until 4pm.

“This year’s event promises to be the best yet including fully booked exhibitor spaces, celebrity guests and chefs. One of our special guests is ITV’s weather and TV presenter, Ruth Wignall. Ruth will be showing us her prowess in charge of the hot plate during a variety of demonstrations throughout the day. As part of the Coast and Country team she often shares many environmental and agricultural stories from around Wales, which ties in nicely with the values we promote through Brecon Beacons Food Festival.”
