Cowbridge Community Cob Oven

The oven will be built by Nancy Evans in the run up to the festival via a series of community workshops and the cob oven will remain as a community resource. During the festival it will be lit and people will be able to create and cook their own rolls and fillings using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
