Pembrokeshire's popular Really Wild Festival will not take place in St Davids this year but instead will take the form of a pop-up event in venues yet to be announced.

The multi award-winning festival has been located at different venues throughout the county. It was set up in 2004 to provide a market place for local food and drink producers and traditional craftsmen

It was held initially at Oriel y Parc, but expanded every year. As the activities, attractions and environmental education side developed, it rapidly outgrew each new site.

For the last two years it has been held at Celtic Camping just outside St Davids. Last year just under 5000 visitors attended the festival and it won the 2016 Best Event award from Pembrokeshire Tourism.

Earlier this month there was confusion to the future of the festival, with posts on Facebook that Really Wild was moving to The National Botanic Gardens of Wales in Carmarthenshire.

The festival's founder, Julia Horton-Powdrill responded that she was not moving the event to the neighbouring county.

"St Davids is where it started out 12 years ago and this is where it belongs," she said.

An official clarification issued last week confirmed that Celtic Camping will not be hosting the Really Wild Festival this year.

"After two outstanding years, the director Ian Griffiths and his team have handed back full control to the co-organiser and founder Julia Horton-Powdrill in order to focus on the core business aspects of the site at Pwll Caerog the home of Celtic Camping and Bunkhouse Accommodation," said a spokesman.

A representative for the festival confirmed that it will not be happening in St Davids this year but will be happening in pop-up form at various venues that already have the required infrastructure, both in and out of the county.

"This will ensure that the brand and longevity of the festival is upheld," she said. "It is still a work in progress at the moment. Watch this space."

Julia Horton-Powdrill added:

"The Really Wild brand will continue to develop in diverse, innovative and smaller ways but still maintaining its original ethos.

"I shall always be indebted to the directors, and volunteers and more recently, Ian and his team at Celtic Camping who have all helped this amazing, friendly and popular event develop.

"The Really Wild Festival has been responsible for bringing thousands of pounds into the local economy each year, giving many people entertainment and pleasure and promoting the area far and wide. In these respects it did exactly what I had planned in my original dream."
