‘It’s been the best weekend of my life and I don’t even like Elvis!’

"The three-day event attracts people from across the UK - and even further afield - to the town, donning their rhinestones and pleated trousers."

ITV

"There are so many other features at this festival to keep you thoroughly engaged, such as art exhibitions dedicated to Elvis, themed fashion contests, and much more."

"The Elvis Festival in Porthcawl has gained international recognition since its inception in 2004 and has become one of the largest Elvis events in the world."

Visit Wales

"Every pub books Elvis impersonators, and revelers dress up in costumes. There's a Young Elvis competition, and a 'Hound Dog' prize for the best dressed mutt."

NPR

"I was met by unmatched passion for Elvis and the joy of the festival itself. The daytime atmosphere was humorous and celebratory"

By Lines

"The Elvis festival pays homage to 'the most influential musician of the 20th century' ”
