About

The Wye Valley River Festival is back!
Along with the spring, to bring Magic, Merriment and a little Mayhem to Monmouth on Saturday 2nd of May.
Gather with us at St Marys Priory Church churchyard (11am) for our vibrant much-loved procession, winding down Monmouth High Street from 11:30, bringing colour, imagination and Spring spirit through the town. Expect spectacle, music and surprises as artists, locals and community groups come together.
The parade ends at Drybridge Park (opposite Bridges Community Centre) for a full day of entertainment (12-5pm); shows, workshops, song, music, exhibitions, delicious food and hopefully some sunshine too.
