Started in 1999 by two local farmers, the Abergavenny Food Festival has gone on to become one of the biggest foodie events in the country, taking place on the third weekend of September.
The festival brings together local producers, farmers, chefs and writers to sell, cook, discuss, teach and generally celebrate the best of Welsh produce and culinary talent from the region and further afield.
Celebrity chefs give masterclasses and demonstrations, while over 200 stalls in six market venues offer visitors the chance to sample and buy everything from cheese to chocolate.
