The popular event runs from 11am to 8pm and is open to everyone. Entry is priced at £3.50, with free admission for children under seven.
Music Line-Up
This year's music line-up is headlined by festival favourites Tootin Ska Moon. Earlier in the afternoon, Pembrokeshire's community samba band Samba Doc will bring lively Brazilian drumming. Joining them on the busy bill are Welsh male voice choir Cor Meibion Cwmann a'r Cylch, Indian classical dancer Debdatta Mallik, and the Llandysul Community Gospel Choir, who will start the music at 11.30am.

The fete takes place in the lovely hospice gardens at Skanda Vale Hospice in Saron, Llandysul. Visitors are welcome to wander around the building and grounds throughout the day. There is limited parking on site, full wheelchair accessibility, and well-behaved dogs are welcome on leads.
