For almost 20 years Polly was chief organiser of one of south Wales’s largest Food Festivals, growing it from a one day festival at the local farmer’s market to a two day, multiple site, family event of 150 applicants, 100 exhibitors, a full schedule of demos and tastings, musicians and performers attracting over 10,000 visitors over the weekend. Polly managed the event liaising with a team of 70 people including the committee and a bank of lovely volunteers, eventually taking a more advisory role. What Polly did best was overseeing the entire process including selling a balanced stall selection and full weekend of entertainment but what she loved best was working with the brilliant team and coordinating all the moving parts  making changes each year to create a hugely successful seamless event for the town.
