THE popular Barley Saturday stallion show and parade will take place this year, organisers have confirmed.

The annual Cardigan town centre event, which has had to be cancelled for the past two years due to the pandemic, will take place on Saturday, 30 April, organisers confirmed earlier today.

In a post on social media, they said: “Great news. Barley Saturday stallion show and parade will be going ahead on the 30 April 2022 subject to Covid-19 restrictions - if applicable.”

The event draws hundreds of people to Cardigan every year and is seen as one of the highlights of the Ceredigion calendar.

Barley Saturday has been held annually in the town since 1961, after it was resurrected by a group of town business people.

The original event had its origin in the 19th century, but was disbanded during World War II before being revived.Local county councillor Clive Davies welcomed the news, saying: "Good news to hear that plans are being put into place for this event. "Hopefully back on the annual Cardigan calendar."
