There was also a bar set up and in the evening there was live music.

We couldn’t resist the chance to try some of the food on offer at the festival too – let me tell you we had one of the best burgers we’ve ever had in Barry made by Aga Farm.

Barry's had an eventful Christmas so far and the Barry and District has been there to cover it.

There was the Christmas lights switch on extravaganza, lasting nearly all of November 30, starting at midday and not finishing until 7pm, with the high point being Santa himself turning on Barry’s Christmas lights.

There was also the Mayor’s 'mental elf run', hosted on December 3, where families came together on Whitmore Bay and ran, jogged or walked the mental elf route all for the aid of mental health awareness.
