Torch light procession in Conwy

A special late "knight" shopping was organised in Conwy and there was certainly plenty of knights and medieval characters roaming around the town.

Just behind the knight in armour is a bird of prey

One very lively jester!!

At 6.45pm they all congregated infront of the castle  and were issued with torches. The torches were lit and then they started their procession through the centre of Conwy to the beat of drums. It really was quite an impressive sight

As well as the shops being open until 8pm there was also a farmers market down on the quayside.

Vegetables, meats, jams, pickles and home bakes were all available

... and the starter packs to grow your own mushrooms

Events like this certainly do help to bring extra trade to Conwy. The magnificent setting of the walled town with a torch lit procession weaving through the town made it so atmospheric.
