THE Really Wild Food and Countryside Festival returned to Pembrokeshire at the weekend.

After a one year absence, two of the county’s gold award-winning businesses combined to celebrate the event’s 10th birthday.

Ian Griffiths of Celtic Camping and Julia Horton-Powdrill, founder of the Really Wild Festival already work together as directors of Pembrokeshire Tourism and joined forces to bring the event to Pwll Caerog Farm, near St Davids, for the first time.

“This is a perfect site”, said Julia, “we’ve had some terrific venues over the years, but Pwll Caerog will give us the opportunity to widen our activities with wonderfully wild events.”

Among the weekend attractions were pig racing, falconry displays, a climbing wall, clay shooting, archery, pond kayaking, hands-on bush craft, foraging walks, as well as demonstrations of dog training, woodland skills, chainsaw carving, spinning, weaving and bread-making. There were also a large variety of stalls selling food, drink and crafts, and a chance to learn from the best with chef demonstrations from the likes of Paul Bramble, Mark Lloyd, Anthony Evans and Any Holcroft.

In the evening, guests were treated to live music from ska band Tattsyrup and Rock band Philoe Beddo.
