Thank you for not visiting Monmouthshire, or travelling around the county, unnecessarily at this time. Please stay safe at home, and we'll be here with a warm welcome when this is all over. Visit Monmouthshire. Later.

Like everywhere else our events have been postponed and our hotels, restaurants, bars and cafes have been temporarily closed to keep our residents safe.

Despite incredibly difficult times for tourism and hospitality businesses globally, an increasing number of Monmouthshire businesses have been doing amazing things to support their local communities, including providing healthy meals for frontline NHS workers and producing much needed hand sanatiser for local hospitals and care homes. We'll be shining a light on some of these inspirational businesses over the coming weeks.

It's never been more important to support local businesses and there are lots of ways we can do this. For example, by making use of local delivery and click and collect services; buying a gift card for future use; following them on social media and liking / sharing their posts; and / or making a charitable donation.

We look forward to welcoming visitors back to the area as soon as it's safe to do so, but in the meantime we'll be collating and sharing good news stories from across Monmouthshire and other destination content that visitors can enjoy from the safety of their homes. Take care and stay safe everyone.
