St David's Day Festival - Barry Town Centre Event

To celebrate its 50th year, Barry Town Council will be hosting a new festival event to celebrate St David’s Day in 2025. St David’s Day is celebrated nationally with Eisteddfods, music, competitions, parades and local events to remember Saint David, March 1 being marked as the day of his death in 589 AD.
The Barry St David’s Day Festival will take place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd March 2025, with two separate events taking place across the weekend.
The Saturday event will feature a stage with live music, market stalls selling Welsh themed products, workshops, falconry, street entertainment and more. The event will take place from 10am until 3pm on King Square in Barry Town Centre and is free to attend. We’ll be joined by a baby dragons walkabout storyteller in the morning, and Dexter the Dragon will be roaming the square in the afternoon. The event is free to attend and will feature some free activities and low-cost workshops provided by Barry Round Table and the Rotary Club of Barry. You can shop the Welsh traders, grab some delicious food and dance to local acts until the sun goes down!
The Sunday will feature a themed fun run at Barry Island. The fun run will feature a 2k run for adults, children and dogs. Registration fee will be £6.00 (plus booking fee) for adults, with children and dogs being free – but all those attending will need to register for a ticket. The fee includes access to the fun run, and daffodil themed accessories for the event.
