My little grandson was on your clip of this years extravaganza, he loves seeing himself on it.

Speaking to people in Conwy, there are very mixed feelings regarding the food festival. It doesn't appear that either local traders or residents are very impressed.

I wonder who benefits from the event considering the disruption it causes. Would there not be a better location for the event? As far as I am concerned, I've been every year, and each year it seemed a little bit worse than the year before. I won't be going this year.

I'm a bit confused about the food festival in Conwy, I'm assuming it's nothing more than a big food market throughout the town... but from speaking to people they've said I would have to pay in order to access the market. How does that work?

you probably have to pay to get in the tent - that's what Llandudno did. Bit silly if you ask me, forcing potential customers to have to pay will surely put people off. It would me.

And the traders pay no rates and just take business away from the local shops.  Someone is making a packet out of it, and it's not the ratepayers!   ZXZ

£ 8.00 to get in.

  I won't be going!

I could go and see a band for that and that is worth more of my doubloons than a load of stalls and a few bars.

[Merddin Emrys]

£8!!  that's like paying to get into Asda! 

[Yorkie]

It's like paying to go into a muddy field to spend hard earned (for some) money to relieve other people of rubbish from their car boot or ricketty pasting tables!   Or even, so called, Antique Fairs in Church And Town Halls.

M & S, BHS, C & A, and Billy Lals could snap up the idea of charging, so watch this space!

I am a F##King angry Fester tonight.
You see, I went round to the Conwy Feast and spent lots of dosh on the booze and food available, it was shaping up very nicely. We spent a lot of dosh in the Champagne bar, and the outside wine bar.
Then, we went into the Live Music tent and enjoyed the live music which was getting only muted response.
Local bands and musicians were doing their best, and some good talent on display.
But then, when two young local lads danced in front of the stage (harmlessly), the minimum-wage idiotic security guys waded in, and physically threw them out!
This is outrageous, and when I followed them outside to protest against this, they didn't seem to understand who was in charge or even why they had done it.
In other words, they are minimum wage bullies, spoiling for a fight.  They weren't so tough when confronted by an irate 50 year old, they can only knock teenage kids about.
Local lads in this area don't have much money by and large, and not many outlets. So why are they treated so shabbily when they spend the few quid they have got at a local event??

A great night was ruined by trigger-happy bullies.

The majority of the security are unpaid volunteers, surprised there were paid security  there. The stampede over the bridge when the light show finished, and they opened the road was frightening, hundreds of people trying to cross the bridge being jostled and shoved by some drunken oafs.

Are you sure they got thrown out just for dancing in front of the stage? Were they pushing each other and rough housing?
Either way, ranting on here isn't going to do much why don't you send an e mail to the organizers.
Was Kev Chin in charge of the security again?
