Following the success of last month’s launch event, Street Food Friday will return to Unit Nineteen on Little Wind Street this Friday, May 12.

Created by creative agency Urban Foundry, the team behind Uplands Market, Last Clothing and The City Centre Pop-Up Park, the family-friendly pop-up market will bring street food, live music and drinks to Swansea city centre for a second time.

The venue, Unit Nineteen, can be found just off Wind Street at The City Gates, Little Wind Street.

They have partnered with the City and County of Swansea and Swansea BID as part of their work promoting Swansea’s alternative and cultural night time economy. In addition to Street Food Friday, Unit Nineteen is also being used for live music events, workshops and exhibitions.

Lucy Beddall, one of the event organisers, said: “The team were overwhelmed by how successful the first Street Food Friday was. It brought a new crowd to Swansea City Centre and everyone was telling us how much they enjoyed themselves. Unit Nineteen is on the site of a former nightclub and demonstrates a new and positive use that has a positive impact on our City.”

What food will be there?

There’ll be more than a dozen street food traders heading to the city centre, with foodie options ranging from Indian to Persian, along with classic dishes like gourmet burgers, pies and grilled cheese sandwiches, and with gluten free and vegan options available.

And this time out, the venue’s neighbour Jamaican Jill’s will also be joining in by taking its Caribbean food to the streets with a barbecue outside the restaurant serving up reggae burgers and jerk chicken.
