Street Food Circus will return to St Donat's Castle, near Llantwit Major for its largest events of the summer.
Running across Saturday 2nd August and Sunday 3rd August, the event brings together street food, circus performance, family entertainment, a lido by the sea and after dark DJ sets into a ‘remixed, 21st century village fȇte’.
This year, the entertainment features the Artful Dodgems vintage roller rink, bringing roller skate pros and DJs to the roller disco. They are currently touring the UKs biggest music festivals including Big Feastival and Camp Bestival, and arriving in Wales for one weekend at Fantastic Fȇte.
Performances on the bill include Street Food Circus favourite, Chris Bullzini on the high wire, the Pembrokeshire Fire Spinners and a Mexican Wrestling Show. Entertainment for the whole family features The Incredibly Clever Canine Circus, The Big Bubble Disco, and free workshops from Splatch Aeria, Let’s Make Art and SFC Circus School. And for a bit of friendly competition, there will be Axe Throwing and Kiss My Putt Crazy Golf.
Next to the Castle, overlooking the beach, the lido pool will be open for people to swim or to relax in the sauna.
As night falls, the Fantastic Fȇte switches into dancefloor mode, with an ‘after dark’ party headlined by DJ Yoda's 80s Mixtape Party Starter, bringing a mix of 80s pop, hip-hop, and synthwave.
To go along with the entertainment, Street Food Circus has curated three zones for people to explore. "Coco Loco Mexico" presents Mexican cuisine from El Cabron, Chantico, Gourmet Warriors, Church Of Churros, and Paletas. A “Street Food Circus All-stars” zone includes Bone Cartel (recent People’s Choice winners at the Welsh Street Food Awards), Smokin Griddle, Bare Bones Pizza, The Melted Cheese Co, Two Lads Kitchen, Fire & Flank, and Drizzle. And “Feast From The East” offers Taste Of Punjab, Keralan Karavan, and Ceylon And Beyond. Drinks will be available from Tiny Rebel Brewery, Lola's Cocktail Bar, Fresh Lemonades, and Buzz Coffee.
Matt the Hat, founder of Street Food Circus, said: “We’re thrilled to be back for a second year at St Donat’s - it’s a unique site, between the castle and the sea. Fantastic Fȇte is our biggest event of the summer - and represents everything we do, remixing and reinventing the classic village fȇte with our travelling circus of family entertainment, the best street food around and, after dark, one of our favourite DJs bringing the party.
He added: “It’s a chance to come and spend a magical day with us and explore the spectacular Glamorgan Heritage Coast. There’s lots of great places to stay nearby so it would also be easy to make a whole weekend of it."
First-release tickets are priced at £10 (plus booking fee) for adults, with free entry for children, and are available at streetfoodcircus.co.uk. Dogs are permitted. Some activities, including the lido pool and sauna, roller disco, and crazy golf, are subject to an additional charge on the day
