A food festival is set to return with a packed programme of sustainable events.
The Vale Food Trail will take place across the Vale of Glamorgan from May 24 to June 7, inviting people to explore the region’s farms, vineyards, cafés, gardens, and food producers through hands-on, immersive experiences.
Louise Denham, Food Vale coordinator, said: "Each year, the Vale Food Trail grows into something even more special.
"It brings our community together, celebrates the incredible producers right here on our doorstep, and shows how our food choices shape the world around us.

"We can’t wait to see the creativity our local businesses bring to the 2026 trail, and we’re excited to welcome visitors old and new to discover just how vibrant and diverse the Vale’s food scene truly is."
The two-week celebration of food, farming, and sustainability will open with the Cowbridge Food Festival on May 24 and 25, and finish on Open Farm Sunday.
Confirmed participants for 2026 already include Pugh’s Garden Centre in Wenvoe, Amelia Trust Farm, Rosedew Farm, Llanblethian Orchards, and Peterston Tea.
The 2026 Vale Food Trail is expected to be the largest yet, building on the success of previous years that each attracted around 1,000 visitors.
Organisers are encouraging more growers, producers, food businesses, and community organisations to apply to host events before the deadline of February 27, 2026.
More than 30 local businesses took part in past trails, benefiting from greater exposure, new customers, and fresh partnerships.
