Portmeirion food and craft fair

Every year we go to the food fair.  It is somewhere for the girls to run around, we get lots of free samples, a few Christmas presents and Portmeirion is a lovely place.  It is the setting for the TV series The Prisoner, and is Wiggyville in Gigglebiz.

The fair seems to be becoming more popular.  This year the car park was overflowing but with staff directing traffic we were parked in no time.  Wear your boots though as it can be quite muddy.

Portmeirion has a myriad of photo opportunities and so much to look at.


Airborne Warriors were there with a selection of birds of prey.
 

We normally stop for a snack from Debbie's Cake'ole with Christmas style decorations. 


There were 74 exhibitors in total.



And of course the compulsory visit to Santa in his grotto which was included in the £2 ticket price for children.


 Another photo opportunity.


In total we spent about 2 1/2 hours looking round the stalls, throwing money into fountains for wishes, and eating.  The weather was sunny but not too cold which probably helped draw the crowds.  And we discovered that the youngest likes lamb burgers, to add to her huge repertoire of food she likes.
