Fawkes Fest at Barry Island

Fawkes Fest takes place leading up to, and including, Friday 5th November, Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night.

Enter your guy (or gal!) into our competition and display it along the promenade for all to see our outdoor Fawkes Fest Guy Gallery.

Wrap up warm and pop down to roast some favourites on our Marshmallow fire pits whilst watching a Firedance show with the ocean behind.

Build a Guy (or Gal) competition and outdoor guy gallery

The Build a Guy (or Gal) competition will form the main part of a Fawkes Fest celebration. The competition will be open, not only to all primary school in the Vale, but to the general public including all uniformed groups, playgroups etc as well as individual families. The community will be able to get involved and we will be encouraging the creation of green guys (and gals) using materials we can recycle after the events and showing them in a gallery on the railings along Barry island Promenade. Your creations will then be judged by the public as they place ‘a penny for the Guy’ of their choice.

Marshmallow Firepits

Our marshmallow firepits will create a ring of fire and will be manned by members of the South Wales Fire Service. They will be lit between 4:30pm and 8pm on Friday 5th November. Public are welcome to bring their own marshmallows for roasting or can get them on the night.

Firedance

We will be joined on Friday 5th November by the amazing Damazo. The 20 minute firedance show spectacular will start at 7pm as part of Fawkes Fest. So grab a chair or picnic blanket and come and watch the sparks fly on the coast. Eastern end of the promenade.
