Penarth's popular Summer Festival and Downhill Derby are set to return this year on Saturday, July 16.

Held at The Esplanade, the festival has been a fixture of the town since the 1960s and will feature live music, refreshments, as well as the popular Downhill Derby race which was first introduced in 2010. 

Organised by Penarth Town Council, the festival is free to attend and will take place between 12:00 and 20:00. 

Activities along the seafront will kick off the night before with a special gig by jazz singer, Barb Jungr at the Penarth Pier Pavilion.
