Cowbridge Food & Drink Festival Goes Green

Cowbridge Food Festival is hoping to set a green example this year by holding a plastic bag amnesty.

On the festival weekend (October 27-28) local residents are being urged to hand over all their old plastic bags - and replace them with free canvas bags, courtesy of the Vale Council

The main collection point for old carrier bags will be in the festival marquee, and members of the Vale Council’s recycling team will also be handing out canvas bags outside the Town Hall, and at the Vale Farmer’s Market.

The festival manager, Polly Wilson, said: “This is a good opportunity to reduce the number of new bags that get produced and just thrown away.

” Iam sure that Cowbridge could become a plastic bag free town”

In the run-up to the festival, two Cowbridge stores, Spar and the Linen Cupboard, have said that they are happy to collect carrier bags if people want to leave their old bags.
