Mack Events was founded in April 2013 by Company Directors Ross Mackintosh and Matt Blumberg. Having both grown up in Barry, the original aim of the company was to put on events that would help raise the profile of their hometown, and give the people of Barry something exciting to do on their own doorsteps. After a number of high profile after dinner events including evenings with British Lions and Wales rugby star Jamie Roberts, and numerous footballing legends such as Jan Molby, Paul Merson and Matt Le Tissier, as well as the popular tribute festival 'GlastonBARRY' drawing visitors from across the UK and beyond, as well as a number of other events, the company is well on its way to achieving that goal. GlastonBARRY Ale was released in partnership with Brains Brewery in 2018, it was a huge hit at the festival and is now being sold at a number of public houses in the Vale of Glamorgan. The music festival has been attracting media attention from the BBC, S4C, Wales Online and other local media outlets and has grown from just over 600 customers in 2013 to over 9000 visitors over the weekend in 2018. Aiming for 6000 guests a day in 2019 and with a new family friendly festival - 'GlastonBARRY Juniors' also announced, Mack Events hope to make 2019 their best year yet. 

In 2014 Mack Events were the subject of a fly on the wall documentary by Mark Woods, to find out more about 'Waking up Barry' please click here.
