Barley Saturday/Dydd Sadwrn Barlys - Cardigan -

Barley Saturday has since the 19th Century, been held on the last Saturday in April – it is an unique event in Cardigan. Barley Saturday saw farmers from the surrounding area come to town to hire workers and to inspect stallions that are put out to stud. These days the horses are the centre of attention. After the 12pm judging of various horse competitions, the crowds gather to watch the horses do their parade around the town of Cardigan at approximately 2pm. The horses are followed by a parade of vintage cars, motorbikes, tractors, carriages, milk floats and gypsy wagons. *Apologies for the ignorant PIGS obstructing the view.
