Simon Baynes MP says he is ‘really honoured and pleased’ to have officially opened remotely the Llangollen Food Festival’s 2020 virtual event.

He celebrated the high reputation of the Llangollen Food Festival, with the festival being in the Top 10 of food festivals in Britain in previous years. He mentioned some of the virtual events which were part of the Festival, including a talk with an award-winning bee farmer, cooking demonstrations and talks with dairy farmers as well as Q&A sessions and shopping in the Expo filled with local producers.

Pip Gale said: “This long-standing food festival is about showcasing great Welsh and local food producers. And they need this platform now more than ever. These times call for great ingenuity from them and we have tried to do the same. We are very proud that the new online festival allows local food stories to flow.”

Simon Baynes MP said: “I was really honoured and pleased to officially open the Llangollen Food Festival 2020. It was great to be able to thank the farmers, food and drink producers and local personalities for coming together and sharing their work.”

“This event showed continued optimism in difficult circumstances and was a great example of Llangollen’s wonderful commitment to food, farming and the environment, as well as an exceptionally strong sense of community.”
