An eventful day in the life

Abergavenny Food Festival - three words to make the any foodie's mouth fill with saliva, and two days of quality food and drink, carefully produced and freely available to buy; plenty of inspiring ideas for how to prepare it, and lots of big names from the world of food and drink.


A small appetiser

From fresh food markets to music festivals and Monmouthshire's first walking festival, there's a lot to keep an eye on this summer in the Wye Valley & Vale of Usk.


An eye on things

Go Wilde this summer - come Rain or Shine
