go about their daily tasks. A huge traditional funfair is open throughout the festival along with many craft stalls lining the Castle’s moat. Children’s activities are plentiful with
animal encounters, crafts,
educational experiences and much more. The Big Cheese is a ‘must see’ attraction for all visitors, celebrating its 21st year in 2018. Portraying the history, heritage and culture of Caerphilly. The Big Cheese weekend on 27th-29th July, is a FREE event and over 80,000 people are expected in 2018.
