The Good Food Cardiff Autumn Festival is back this September for its third year and will run from Saturday, September 10 to Tuesday, October 18. The festival, which began virtually and socially-distanced in 2020, will see dozens of events being held across the Welsh capital to showcase community spirit through food and support city-wide partnership, Food Cardiff’s, Good Food Strategy.
The organisation describes itself as "a hub for connecting the people and projects working to promote healthy, environmentally sustainable and ethical food across the city; it acts as a voice for wider change". Its strategy has five food goals for the city which include a healthy Cardiff; an environmentally sustainable Cardiff; a thriving local economy; a fair and connected food system; and an empowering food movement.
This festival looks to encompass that and will see community groups, schools - who have been provided grants by Food Cardiff and C3SC - Cardiff Third Sector Council - for this occasion - gardens and businesses run a wide range of events that celebrate and encourage the cooking, sharing and growing of food. Many of the events that span the five weeks also have a strong focus on communities coming together amid the cost of living crisis.
