8th October
On Saturday 8 October, the city centre streets will once again become a hive of activity and tasty treats.
There will be plenty of food stalls as traders showcase the best in food and drink from across the city and the wider region.
Returning alongside the stall holders are the popular chef demonstrations. Local chefs will be displaying their culinary wares in the Newport Now Zone in Newport Market.
Among the chefs that will be appearing in the chefs' demo zone is Hywel Jones, patron of the festival and executive head chef at Restaurant Hywel Jones, at the Lucknam Park Hotel and Spa.
Other confirmed chefs include Anil Karhadkar, head chef at city centre restaurant Curry on the Curve; James Davies, head chef at Horton’s Coffee House; and Steve White, head chef at the Mercure Hotel.
There will also be a full programme of activities taking place across the festival site, including face-painting and roaming street theatre.
Entry to the festival, which begins at 9am, is free.
