Thank you to everyone who helped make last year, our 20th anniversary festival, so special. This year we have teamed up with a Welsh butter producer to launch a Great British Bake Off-style competition at this year’s event. The initiative is the idea of the Festival’s patron of seven years, celebrity chef Angela Gray, whose family produce butter under the Castle Dairies brand. Competitors who signed up for the Bake- Off challenge were given a block of Castle Dairies butter and will include that in their baking. Their creations will be judged by Angela on Sunday. “Baking brings people together and I loved the idea of using local produce coupled with the tradition of baking to add a new dimension to the Festival,’’ says Angela, who The Paul Davey earned her first pay packet from packing Education Day butter at the family dairy in Caerphilly. There are two categories - one for young Each year on the Friday before we open to the public for the people aged 16 years and under and the week-end we invite up to 100 other for 17-year-old cooks and beyond. children from local primary The winner of the junior class will get the schools to a day of food- chance to participate in a cookery class at related talks, demonstrations and hands-on activities. the Angela Gray Cookery School while in the adult section the prize is a one-day course at the school.
