Street food and circus festival returns to Caldicot Castle for August Bank Holiday Weekend.

This Bank Holiday weekend, Big Banquet will be bringing flavours from around the world to Caldicot Castle, cooked by some Wales’ best-known and up-and-coming street food chefs.

As well as street food and gravity-defying high-wire shows, visitors can enjoy walkabout circus performers, a free circus school for kids, fire shows from the Pembrokeshire Fire Spinners and live DJ sets.

With free kids’ tickets it’s a great option for families and runs across the whole Bank Holiday weekend from Friday, August 25 to Monday 28 August.
