Caerphilly events team are pleased to announce that whilst Caerphilly Big Cheese Festival cannot take place in its usual format, due to development works taking place in Caerphilly Castle, an alternative event will take place in 2022, namely Caerphilly Little Cheese Festival!
On 3rd and 4th September, Caerphilly Little Cheese Festival will take place in Caerphilly town centre forming a music event with a number of music areas throughout Cardiff Road and Castle Court Shopping Centre, as well as a central stage in Twyn Car Park. The event will be host to local and headline musicians along with numerous food and drink stalls. There will also be craft sessions and a children’s area with facepainting, falconry displays and workshops.
The event takes place between 9am and 5pm on both days with Twyn Car Park Main Stage extending until 8pm on Saturday only.
For all event enquiries please email events@caerphilly.gov.uk
