THOUSANDS descended on Caerphilly Castle on the weekend for The Big Cheese.
This annual festival, which celebrated its 22nd year, never fails to draw crowds to the biggest castle in Wales.
The fun kicked off last Friday, with a cheese-themed relay race, followed by a spectacular fireworks display.

On Saturday and Sunday, attendees enjoyed food halls, street food vendors and the popular cheese market.
The weekend was also abundant with activities, including re-enactment displays, live performances, animal encounters, fair rides and more.
With no admission fee, The Big Cheese also allows visitors free access to the medieval castle and grounds.
Our Camera Club took some great photos showcasing the castle over the weekend.
