Barley Saturday / Sadwrn Barlys

Barley Saturday / Sadwrn Barlys

Since the 19th Century Barley Saturday has been held on the last Saturday in April – it is an unique event in Cardigan. Historically Barley Saturday saw farmers from the surrounding area come to town to hire workers and to inspect stallions that are put out to stud.

These days the horses are the centre of attention. After the judging of various horse competitions, the crowds gather to watch the horses do their parade around town. Followed by a parade of vintage cars, motorbikes, tractors, carriages, milk floats and gypsy wagons.

It really is a great day out and the town is heaving with people and a great atmosphere!
See full details here

Details to be announced but here’s our ideal Barley Saturday…

Tom Hudson dinner at fforest farm

We’re proud to celebrate our own Head Chef, Tom Hudson, at fforest farm this autumn. Before joining us, Tom cooked at Tommy Banks’ Abbey Inn and spent many years in Helsinki, where he honed his love for seasonality and inventive techniques.

Now at fforest, Tom is steering our restaurant ever closer to Welsh traditions. Often found poring over old Welsh cookery books, he draws inspiration from deeply rooted methods and flavours, blending them with modern but humble techniques. The result is food that feels both timeless and fresh, grounded in the land around us.

The gardeners love his passion for using absolutely everything they grow in the gardens, fields and hedgerows. Nothing is wasted and everything is celebrated.

On Saturday 4th October, we invite you to join us and enjoy our cosy Bwthyn pub and Lodge dining barn. Bookings between 6-8pm.On Saturday 4th October, we invite you to join us and enjoy our cosy Bwthyn pub and Lodge dining barn. Bookings between 6-8pm.
