Thank you to everyone who joined us at Abergavenny’s Market Hall on the 24th April to celebrate our brilliant local artisan food producers and the new Abergavenny Food Festival decorations which are duck and goose themed this year!

This pop-up market was a successful collaboration between Abergavenny Town Council, Monmouthshire Food Partnership, Monmouthshire County Council, and Abergavenny Food Festival.

Attendees explored delicious food offerings, connected with vibrant community groups, and enjoyed a delightful performance by the town’s a cappella choir, Cân Y Fenni.
