Our Festival of Fermentation kicks off on Thursday evening 18 April with an informal reception and a free showing of the documentary film ‘Fermented’ at Aberystwyth Arts Centre cinema. Our full programme of activities runs between 09:30 and 15:30 on Friday 19 April, with a mix of talks, panel discussions and case studies as well as a kefir and sauerkraut-making demonstration and a chance to taste a few products.

There will also be a display area showcasing a range of fermented food and drink products from Wales alongside industry support stands and academic research projects which use fermentation processes. The language of most of the formal sessions will be English, with simultaneous translation for Welsh language presentations. We look forward to welcoming you!
