This Friday and Saturday (2nd-3rd October), the free family-friendly event will bring the town to life with an exciting mix of local food producers, artisan traders and live entertainment.

Visitors can browse a fantastic range of stalls featuring favourites such as Gourmet Gower Fudge, Gareth's Delicious Delights, Baked by Jones and That Doughnut Place, alongside new additions including Don Levi Tequila.

The bustling Hot Food Zone will see returning favourites such as Mac Daddies Mac n Cheese and Loaded Sausage Co as well as newcomers The Artisan Cook and Tipsy Mule Cocktail Bar. Local musicians will provide live entertainment throughout the weekend.

As well as the food stalls, there’ll be stilt-walking chefs, juggling acts, a ukulele band and live music in the town centre creating a vibrant atmosphere.

The popular Festival Marquee, delivered in partnership with 4theRegion, will return with workshops, community conversations and opportunities to learn more about local food initiatives.

Councillor Cen Phillips, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Tourism and Wellbeing, said:

"The Neath Food and Drink Festival has become one of the highlights of our events calendar and we're delighted to welcome it back for 2026.

"The festival is a fantastic opportunity to support local businesses, experience great food and drink, and enjoy everything our town centre has to offer.

The festival runs from 10am to 5.30pm on both days.
