Expert on Estonian cuisine, Kaie Collins, will join forces with a local Vale of Glamorgan caterer to create the menu for the 2010 Vale of Glamorgan Festival’s first event, on Sunday 5 September at St Donats Arts Centre.

Kaie – an Estonian now living in Kent, and soon to have a book published on Estonian culinary delights – will work with Tracy Sanderson of Vale Catering to put together a supper blending Baltic elements with local Welsh produce. The event, featuring performance by extraordinary ensemble Resonabilis, and poetry from Penarth-based Philip Gross, promises to launch this year’s festival in style.

Booking for this opening event closes at the close of play on Tuesday 31 August – so purchase your tickets now!
