There are various reasons why the Abergavenny Food Festival is not something you should miss out if you are a food lover. The impressive diversity and volume of food available is enough to single it out as being particularly special.
At the Abergavenny Food Festival there is 200 stalls at 5 different venues. So many stalls that you will need more than just a basket to get the best out of the festival. There is a strong focus on eating as a sociable experience and sense of community at this event and these are two of the precise reasons why it is so popular. More than just a food festival, it is a real celebration of the innovation tradition and craft behind food.
What can you expect? Pop-up restaurants, educational and entertaining walks and talks, tutor-led tastings and masterclasss. The opening time at the Brewery Yard has been extended until 10 pm, with the Night Market providing entertainment and street food into the night.
Obviously, a British food festival would not be complete with some award winning chef-led workshops and demonstrations and this event features some great chefs yet to be confirmed. As Saturday is the busiest day, Sunday is the best day for families and anyone not too fond of crowds should visit on.
With such an array of artists, campaigners, processors, writers, cooks and growers all at one glorious event, you’ll find it hard to fit everything in.
