Next weekend heralds the third Narberth Food Festival.
The festival, which promises to be a feast of food and fun for all the family, features a packed programme of activities and entertainment ranging from a food and drink fair, cookery demonstrations, workshops and tastings, to competitions, wild and wacky street theatre and a cabaret night.
The two-day event, on Friday, September 14 and Saturday, September 15, will promote not only local produce, but the town of Narberth as a whole.
Once again, the festival looks to be equally as successful, if not larger and livelier than last year, when bumper crowds flocked to the town to enjoy the culinary spectacular.
In the run-up to the Food Festival, the WI Country Market will be held at the Queen's Hall on Thursday, September 13, from 9 am until 12 noon, while in the evening an international wine and food tasting event will be staged at the Plas Hyfryd Hotel from 6 pm onwards.
Sponsored by James Williams, further details about the evening are available from Mr. Patrick Nelson-Edwards on (01834) 869006.
This year's Food Festival kicks-off on Friday morning with the opening of the Food and Drink Fair, which will once again give festival-goers the opportunity to sample some of Pembrokeshire's finest produce.
The fair will be open on both Friday and Saturday from 10 am until 5 pm, and admission is £1, with children being admitted free.
As well as a wide variety of stalls, which include a food tasting competition by Wisebuys and a Narberth Hamper Prize Draw at the Boxes of Delight stall, festival-goers will be able to enjoy cookery demonstrations from a host of well-known and local chefs from 11 am onwards.
On Friday, the first demonstration is being given by Tom Hunt, of The Reef, Tenby, who will be followed by the Welsh Culinary team manager, Peter Jackson, Wesley Hammond, of the Royal Oak in Saundersfoot, and Kate Morgan, of Pembrokeshire County Council, all of whom are looking forward to displaying their culinary skills.
Also joining in the fun on the forecourt of the Queen's Hall on both days will be members of the SPARC Saturday Club who will be making pancakes, Maria and Bryony, of Cafe Ole and the Deli, who will be serving Mexican food and noodles, and Celia's Oriental Kitchen who will be cooking Oriental cuisine.
Elsewhere, there will be street stalls (weather permitting), a window competition, street entertainment with The Lemmings, a comic and interactive stilt illusion, plus festival specials on offer at many of the town's cafes and pubs.
Butcher Andrew Rees will be making his Narberth Sausage, which was very much enjoyed when it was launched at last year's festival, while a special Narberth Tart will be on sale at Wisebuys, where people can also sample local strawberries with clotted cream.
In addition, a Festival Baguette and a free drink will be on offer for ceramic painters at the Creative Cafe, a Festival Organic Loaf will be available at the Harvest Stores in St. James Street and tastings from Welsh Cookbooks will be able to be sampled at the Wilson Museum in Market Square.
Friday also heralds workshops with children from Tavernspite School, taking place in the Balcony Room of the Queen's Hall, while in the evening, a gourmet challenge is being held at the Angel Inn in High Street from 7.30 pm.
The evening will see a food and wine tasting session in the form of a quiz for teams of three to four people.
The entry fee is £2 per person and entry forms are available from Jim at the Angel Inn or by telephoning (01834) 860215.
The culinary extravaganza continues on Saturday with the second day of the Food and Drink Fair and another host of tasty cookery demonstrations.
Heading the line-up on Saturday will be TV chef Angela Gray, of BBC2's 'The Hot Stuff', who will be making what has become an annual visit to Narberth.
Once again, Angela, who will be joined by Peter Jackson, the Welsh Culinary team manager, is sure to attract a good audience for her four informative demonstrations.
For the youngsters on Saturday, there will be children's workshops in the Balcony Room of the Queen's Hall.
The workshops at 10 am until 12 noon and 2 pm until 4 pm are for youngsters aged five to 15.
One of the sessions will be on creating food sculptures and will be led by Lynne Crompton and Pat Jones, while the other will be Shadow Puppets, a music and drama based workshop with the Small World Theatre.
The cost is £3 per session and for further details and advance booking, which is essential, ring (01834) 861439.
As well as the events in and around the Queen's Hall, street entertainment will be provided at various times throughout the day by The Lemmings and The Officials by Dot Comedy.
Rounding off the festival will be a cabaret night at the Queen's Hall, which promises to be a fun-packed evening of entertainment.
Hosted by the incomparable comic compere Stompy, who was a great hit when he appeared at the Narberth Children's Festival several years ago, the night features Amaru III, who play South American folk music based around panpipe and bamboo flute, accompanied by guitar, bass, charango, drum, cajon, bongos, maracas and haunting voices in traditional colourful costume.
The incredible unicycling juggler, John Teasdale, Woody Bop Muddy, who asks the audience to join his mission to destroy the worst records in the world, and Steve 'Woko' Jackson, the half naked chef - burnt to a crisp - will also be taking part.
Food by International Eats will be on sale during the evening, which together with the workshops and the street entertainment has been organised by SPAN and funded by the Arts Lottery through Narberth Enhancement.
Tickets for the Cabaret Night, which starts at 8.30 pm, are £8 (£7 concessions).
