A three-day festive food and craft fair spread through the Italianate village of Portmeirion, showcasing Welsh produce, gifts and entertainment.

Portmeirion's annual food and craft fair, renamed the Portmeirion Christmas Fair, takes over Clough Williams-Ellis's Italianate village on the Dwyryd estuary for a weekend in early December. Stalls in marquees, wooden chalets, the Hercules Hall area and traders' own units are spread right through the village.

The focus is on Welsh food and drink, crafts and gifts from local producers, with a programme of entertainment over the three days.

Entry is paid and tickets are sold on the day only at the three tollbooths. On-site parking is limited, and the organisers recommend the free park-and-ride shuttle bus from Porthmadog. Blue Badge parking is available on site on a first-come basis.
