The 2025 Abergavenny Food Festival is coming up in September and it can be hard to decide what to do at the 'Glastonbury of Food Festivals'. So we've taken a look at the official programme and chosen some highlights for you to enjoy (alongside of course over 200 exhibitors, six venues across the town, numerous tastings, live entertainment and lots more as part of your stroller ticket).
Rude Science Live (13th September 11.30am and 3.00pm)
The fun starts before the festival even begins with TV Gastronaut Stefn Gates' riotously funny (and informative!) Rude Science family show coming to the Borough Theatre of Saturday 13th September. Proceeding donated to support the Food Festival
Tickets – Adults: £19, under 16s: £17, Family Ticket £60. There will be two shows: 11.30am and 3.00pm.
The Soundtrack to My Family and Other Rock Stars with Tiffany Murray and local musicians (20th September 3.30pm - 4.3pm)
Monmouth's Rockfield Studios has as many stories as it does musicians, and now you can relive all of this with Tiffany Murray who grew up at the studios. There'll be live music from local musicians and great stories from Queen recording Bohemian Rhapsody, the chaos of Oasis recording What's the Story Morning Glory and the serenity of the stars when Coldplay recorded their debut album.
Tickets : Free with stroller
Learn how to make Fougasse and French Beans (21st September, 1pm - 2.30pm)
No festival (or meal!) is complete without bread. Join The Abergavenny Baker Rachael Watson to discover the magical properties of long fermentation dough and the gut/planet/budget friendly benefits of dried French beans.
You finish off by relaxing with a plate of French bean and Toulose sausage casserole (and a glass of wine!). A perfect way to spend lunch time.
Tickets £26.50
Welsh and English Wines (20th September, 12:00 - 13:00)
The UK wine scene has gone from strength to strength in recent years (including here in Monmouthshire), and here is a great chance to taste some of the best wines from Wales and England with Jane Rakison.
Tickets : £17.50
Cooking Over Fire (Throughout the festival in the castle grounds)
A festival highlight for many is watching the firepit displays at Abergavenny Castle. Smoked meats in the beautiful surroundings? Yes please! Events on throughout the weekend.
This year Sam Evans Shauna Guinn from Hangfire BBQ will also be celebrating the 10th anniversary edition of their Hang Fire Cookbook. You will also be able to see them at the Mabon : Fire and Feast event in Caldicot Castle later in the month.
A Stroll Through the Meadows (21st September, 9:45am - 11:30am)
