January fair is a tasty treat for food fans

There are tasty treats a-plenty to cheer up the long, cold month of January at the National Botanic Garden’s Food Fair weekend.

The event takes place in the stunning surrounds of Lord Foster’s Great Glasshouse on January 20-21 and offers a mouth-watering array of delicious local produce – and entry to the Garden is just £4 per person.

Event organiser David Hardy said: “This is your chance to try and buy anything and everything from raw chocolate to rare breed meat, chilli sauce and cheese; special gin, Spanish tapas, muffins, marshmallows, fruit vinegars and faggots. And there will be plenty of fresh, warm Welsh cakes, too. What’s not to like?!”

There will also be awesome bird-of-prey flying displays and the Garden’s stunning (and tropical!) Butterfly House is a must-see, boasting as it does hundreds of exotic, rainforest butterflies from around the world.

Gates open at 10am and close again at 4.30pm (last entry 3.30pm). There’s no additional charge for the Food Fair and there is plenty of free parking for everyone.

Don’t forget: admission to the Garden is FREE on weekdays in January – perfect for a winter stroll in the wonderful Carmarthenshire countryside.
