Abergavenny Food Festival 2021 in pictures

Every year since 1994, apart from 2020 where the event moved online due to the coronavirus pandemic, the town plays host to hundreds of traders for people to sample the best local produce. 

The festival is a celebration of British food production, culinary magic, and mouth-watering meals to suit everyone's taste buds.

The popular event takes place over two days - Saturday, September 18 (sould out) and Sunday, September 19 - in the Market Hall, the Dome and castle grounds.

Thousands attended the food festival on Saturday, September 18.

With the majority of its stalls and attractions based outdoors, the event is always at the mercy of the weather - but a lucky burst of summer sunshine drew big crowds.

People moved enthusiastically between the stalls, sampling the countless varieties of foods on offer.
