Forest Feastival | Friday 28th April

Street Food Circus proudly present Forest Feastival - 6 weekends of deliciousness set in a woodland, by a castle, near the sea.

We’re back for 2023 pitching up in beautiful woodland to create a dining experience like no other. Enjoy the start of Spring by taking in the rich flora and fauna of the Glamorgan Heritage coastline and walk the Big Dipper, Wales' biggest sand dune all the while working up an appetite to feast with us.

An outdoor global food court featuring the best street food trucks & chefs from Wales and beyond. Six delicious weekends of feasting around the fire and under canvas amongst the woodlands of the beautiful Merthyr Mawr Estate.

Experience the wonderful world of Street Food Circus and travel the globe through food made using local ingredients and cooked with passion by our nomadic caravan of traders. Forget Street Food USA on Netflix this is Street Food Wales the untold story.

"We're so happy to be returning to the woodland the Spring it's a great time to be in the forest and watching nature unfold. We've brought together some really special culinary talent and rising stars who in our eyes are doing great things.

THE LOCATION 

Set on the South Wales coast, Merthyr Mawr Warren National Nature Reserve is a magical place and the home to the highest dune in Wales, known as the Big Dipper.The dune system here is like no other in Wales, partly due to the huge area it covers – it extends to 840 acres (the size of 340 international rugby pitches!). Merthyr Mawr is a haven for wildlife - sand has settled on top of the ancient limestone cliffs creating a special habitat for insects, fungi and plants.There are also grasslands, saltmarsh, beach and woods within the reserve. Flints from the Stone Age, burial mounds and pottery from the Bronze Age, hearths from the Iron Age, and Roman tiles have all been discovered here.
