Feastival turns Bridgend into Little Italy

As part of this year’s Wales Alternative Food Festival on 30th September and 1st October 2011, we’re turning a part of Bridgend into ‘Little Italy’. The Italian Quarter at Feastival is a celebration of the historic and cultural links between Wales and Italy and how Italy has helped shape our food culture in the Principality.
There aren’t many places in Wales that you can go to without coming across a quality Italian restaurant, an ice cream parlour even and of course, their famous cafes dotted throughout the valleys. The idea is to create an Italian Quarter during the food festival to showcase some Italian icons and true to form with Feastival, this will be a little bit different too.
It’s rumoured for example (only rumoured!) that Wales Alternative Food Festival will get its very own Leaning Tower of Pissa this year (but with a twist). Watch this space!
In the meantime, if anyone wants to get involved in Little Italy or indeed has any ideas for us, be great to hear from you (email: tourism@bridgend.gov.uk)
