Don't miss our Second Pembroke Potato Festival on May 31st !
The Pembroke Potato Festival is the only event in the UK which is taking place as part of the international Year of the Potato. As a way of focussing world attention on the importance of the potato in providing food security and alleviating poverty, 2008 has been declared the international Year of the Potato by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.
Events are taking place around the globe and here in Wales we will be celebrating our Pembrokeshire earlies in this our second Potato Festival which takes place in the Pembroke Town Hall on Saturday 31st May.
The Pembrokeshire Potato Festival is organised by Pembroke Farmer's Market, a collaboration between Pembroke 21C and Pembroke Country Markets.
It is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government Food Festival Grant Scheme and the event is run in association with Pembrokeshire County Council, PLANED, Puffin Produce and Pembroke NFU.
