Abergavenny Food Festival

It is with regret that are having to cancel our Christmas Fair event on Sunday 8th of December.
The good news is that Abergavenny has plenty of alternative Christmas markets taking place over the same period, so you will still have plenty of choice and lots of opportunity to stock up on your favourite festive food and gifts, and we’ll be back next year with our 2020 Food Festival.
Make sure you don’t miss:
... Nov 21st 6pm – Christmas Lights Switch On Lantern parade, Santa and his sleigh, music, choirs, night market, food, fun and more. Lantern parade starts at 5.30pm at Upper Brewery Yard

The leaves are turning golden orange and burnt red, the nights are drawing in and winter warmers are taking the centre stage at supper time. Make the most of this most beautiful season with some countryside walks and autumnal foraging. This excellent guide from Riverford is a great place to start. 🍁 🍄

Stall holders galore, speakers a-plenty, events in abundance and delicious food and drink as far as the eye could see! Special shout out to our last minute line up addition, 'glorious sunshine' for making Saturday at #AFF2019 a scorching spectacular. Dig in to our Saturday highlights photo album.

The food festival blues are too much! This is the only way we can cope. Pen this into your diaries for next year people! Roll on Abergavenny Food Festival 2020

As the sun sets on another year of Abergavenny Food Festival, us here at festival HQ are feeling pretty overwhelmed with emotion! Each year we aim to transform the way people think about food; challenging and promoting new ideas, pushing the boundaries of current thinking and encouraging people to look differently at where their food comes from. All while having riotous good fun and laughs-a-plenty!
2019 felt like a pivotal year for us - with more women and more diversity in... the programme than ever before, more stalls and more activities. We honestly can't thank you all enough. From our hardworking crew who defy odds of organisation, our sponsors without whom none of this would be possible, our stall holders who animate our streets and bring the festival to life, our speakers who impart their wisdom and inspire us all and every single person who buys a ticket, attends an event and engages.
It's hard to find the words, but we've had a go! See you next year! 💛💛💛

You all really are spectacular! <3
