Anglesey Oyster & Shellfish Festival Ltd

Anglesey is proud to host an annual Oyster and Welsh Produce Festival. This year sees the 11th festival take place but it was a very different event in the early years. It used to be an informal social event whereby vast amounts of local oysters and alcohol were consumed - served with a strong music, singing and a Welsh and Irish dance offer. A voluntary committee was formed in 2000 to direct the event into the future. The aim was to broaden the appeal for non seafood lovers, and as a result a Welsh food fair was introduced in 2000.
